Duval County ARES will be hosting a field day event on Saturday, 8:00am to
5:30pm, during the first day of the 2019 Winter Field Day.
We will not be contesting for this event, simply a day to practice our emergency
communication skills and spend time operating in field conditions. Radio
Operators, please use headphones or headset.
The theme of this year’s event is self-sufficiency. The park has limited facilities and
utilities. You should not assume electrical power is available. Each radio operator
should bring everything needed to get their station on the air and successfully
operate in field conditions for the day. Everyone needs to bring the amenities and
food you prefer.
Park facilities are limited to:
-restrooms
-one picnic pavilion with a large charcoal grill and water faucet
