BBARC Members Can Pay for Field Day Meals with PayPal
The BBARC PayPal Payment page now has buttons for the two meal plans.
Dates
Field Day is June 26 and 27 (Saturday and Sunday).
June 25th is site preparation for the Double Diamond Club House.
Members are camping on site, so Saturday and Sunday begin early with breakfast. Official Field Day Operations begin at 1pm Saturday and end at 1pm Sunday.
Location
The Double Diamond Club House is on Hwy 118 south of Alpine about 6 miles. After crossing the Big Hill, LA Vista RV Park is on the left and the Double Diamond club house a little farther on the right. Take a right at the double diamond steel sign and look for the building, antennas, and vehicles set off from the highway and behind the building on the highway. Here is a map to the location.
News
Bill W5NPR and Scott KI5ANQ did the landscaping last Friday. Mike WA5POK and Cheryl KM4TYV hosed down the tables and floors inside the building on Friday.
The Valentine’s Day freeze did a number on the plumbing. Only a faucet on the SE corner is working. This should be fixed by Friday.
