Field Day 2016 #ARRLFD

As Field Day approaches, a number of sites are springing up on the Field Day Locator. 

This year, Eddie, K5EMS reports he is visiting Ponca City, Stillwater, and Enid.  

Your Section Manager can be tracked across Oklahoma on APRS.  He will be on Echolink 7203 and IRLP 9219.  Beginning in Altus, the trip in the general direction of Ardmore or Durant should turn north for visits to Pryor and Bartlesville.

“Don't forget about the NEW social media bonus that is being added to this years Field Day!” http://bit.ly/28LaelC

“Tom Medlin, W5KUB, has announced that his Amateur Radio Roundtable will be webcasting live on Field Day weekend from the all-kids K1D Field Day site in Deland, Florida, and from selected FD sites across the US, and will take calls at its Memphis, Tennessee, studio. Medlin will webcast from K1D on Saturday, June 25, 2000 until 2200 UTC. Live video from various Field Day sites will follow for the next 2 or 3 hours, as he takes calls, Medlin told ARRL.” http://bit.ly/28JFbn0

Don't forget to be safe ... that's worth points too!

Great Plains Super Launch this weekend #ARRL #hamradio

Plan now to listen for the Great Plains Super Launch from Granbury, TX Saturday June 18.

The Great Plains Super Launch will take place at the Pecan Plantation airport south of Granbury, TX.  Several balloon are planned for launch - I've lost count of exactly how many.

APRS will be on 144.39, 144.36, and 144.34 MHz.  There are plans to have local and/or mobile Igates on all three frequencies, so the flights should be well-represented on APRS-IS and the usual tracking websites.

The flights are projected to head generally southwest and landings should be between Hico and Hamilton TX.

Thanks to Mark N9XTN for this information.
