For 2025, OVARC Field Day will be returning to the Oro Valley PD EOC at Oro Valley Marketplace on Saturday, June 28. The EOC is air-conditioned and comfortable; a great place to have fun in the heat of summer. Setup will start at 8:00am, operating will start at 11:00am, and we’ll be done by 8:00pm. Operators will sign up for 1 hour shifts and be able to operate SSB, CW, or Digital modes (FT8).
​
We will operate as class 2F (Two transmitters operating from an EOC). We will also have a Get On The Air (GOTA) station for operators who are new to Field Day and would like some coaching. We will also operate a VHF station, likely on 6M.
​
All operators are invited to attend regardless of license class or experience. Experienced operators will be available to Elmer those new to Field Day or those who just want some help. Technicians will be able to operate HF on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 as there will be Extra class control operators present. If you haven’t experienced HF operating, here is your best chance as the bands will be full of stations to work.
OPERATING
Operating starts on Saturday, June 28th at 11:00 am.
