The 2024 SPARC Field Day was attended by 47 Hams, guests and visitors. Twenty two individuals operated and shared in reaching 1924 QSOs. The breakdown of QSOs was 800 on phone, 671 on CW and 453 on FT8. The Club’s total submitted score was 6,796 with 6096 points attributed to contacts and 700 bonus points for items such as media publicity, sending formal messages, copying the ARRL Field Day message, and site visits by an elected official. The picnic lunch/dinner event was enjoyed by all who attended. Over all, Field Day was a success and lots of fun.

Field Day Picnic for SPARC Members/Guests: A volunteer has been found to cater picnic food from 2:00pm to 6:00pm Saturday June 22nd. The menu includes hot dogs with all the fixins, potato salad, cold slaw and sodas. Given the weather forecast, food will be served inside DMI. Bring some chips or cookies to share if you can.
Your Help is Needed: One person can’t work alone. So we still need some volunteers to set up tables and chairs. Volunteers should show up around 1:15 – 1:30 pm and some evening eaters are asked to help put away tables and chairs and clean up a bit after 6:00pm.
Food for Operators: Additional food will be provided for operators. We will have drinks, snacks, sandwiches for the night watch and bagels for Sunday morning.
We hope to see everyone Saturday or any time Saturday and Sunday to operate or visit. Questions?: Email: tom_w4cu@yahoo.com

The SPARC team finished the installation of the power winch on the club tower replacing the old hand crank. Those who have cranked the tower up in the past using the old hand crank can appreciate the improvement.
