Whether you’re chasing contacts, testing portable gear, or just soaking up the vibes, this is the perfect weekend to get on the air.

What to Expect
- Multiple HF stations (and VHF/UHF too!) operating in real “field” conditions.

This is your chance to see ham radio at its best: communicating from a beautiful state park while practicing the skills that make us valuable in real emergencies.
All licensed amateurs are welcome to operate or just visit. No club membership required – just bring your smile, your rig (if you want), and your enthusiasm. Families, Scouts, and the public are encouraged to drop in and learn what amateur radio is all about.
