CQ CQ CQ Field Day Update


This year we will have Field Day at the Drayton Fire Department, 50 Carney Street, Drayton, SC. Carney Street is located across from Houston Elementary School.  You must turn down Carney Street to see the fire station.  Antenna setup starts at 8 am on Friday, June 26th.  Please note this is a time change; a suggestion was made that this time be moved earlier due to the current heat wave we are experiencing.  Field Day starts at 2 pm on Saturday, June 27th and runs for 24 hours, ending at 2 pm, Sunday, June 28th.  We can't wait to see everybody again this year at this awesome event. Come join the fun as the club works to earn points while enjoying their favorite hobby and time with their friends.
