Join SARA for Field Day 2010

Visit Field Day and see how amateur radio operators make contacts with other stations across North America using equipment deployed in a remote location with emergency power. The SARA station will use long distance propagation, shorter range communications with stations in Northern California using line of sight propagation, and possibly long range communications using a satellite. Visitors will also have the opportunity to listen-in and even operate the radios themselves with the guidance of experienced operators. Information will be available on how to learn more about amateur radio, and how to earn your license.

Monthly Meeting

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month (except July and August) at 7:30 pm.
Location is at the Saratoga Fire Station, located on 14380 Saratoga Avenue at the corner of Saratoga-Sunnyvale and Los Gatos-Saratoga Roads, in Saratoga. Map
Prior to the meeting we have dinner at Jake's of Saratoga Restaurant located at 12175 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road (and Prospect Road). Map. We usually meet around 6:00 p.m. Someone will be monitoring the repeater while we are at dinner so check-in and say "Hi" if you are on your way.
We strongly suggest you bring your 2M HT in case you have difficulty finding the meeting. If you have difficulty finding the meeting, please contact someone on the club repeater.

If you have questions or would like more information, please e-mail: sara.k6sa@gmail.com .
