Field Day on the Way
Saturday, June 28–Sunday, June 29, 2025
Stop right now and reserve the date on your family calendar. Plan to bring your kids and get them on the air. This year’s ARRL Field Day will be held in Fellowship Hall at First Baptist Church in Farmers Branch.
We have leadership positions open and we need volunteers to setup antennas, setup the operating room, cook, and especially, to operate radios. Yes, it is air conditioned. Yes, there will be food involved. Yes, you can stay up and operate into the wee hours of the morning if you want and if your body will let you (bring a sleeping bag just in case). To volunteer, send an email to FieldDay@kb5a.org.
Please sign up so we know you are coming and how much food to buy. Go now to
