PARC met at Fred Gannon State Park in Niceville Florida and utilized back pack radio kits to communicate in multi-mode operations while teaching young and old hams the tricks to making the most of their time and mentoring others as to how to set-up, tune, and troubleshoot any issues that would prevent a barrier to communications!

Mayor Daniel Henkel even stopped in and was very inquisitive on our capabilities and how we can provide communications for the community with limited operations for emergency situations! But mostly we explained that Field Day is about “FUN” and teaching others how to communicate away from brick and mortar facilities operating in a remote capability to ensure message handling and specialized traffic information is reported and recorded!

Did you make Field Day?! Did you miss Field Day? What was your impression? We want to hear from you as the Amateur Radio Community is always willing to hear feedback and evolve with your interests in mind!
