SUMMARY:2024 NVIS Day
DESCRIPTION:Is your station ready to establish and maintain high-reliability communication with other stations around Ohio when repeaters\, phone\, and internet service are impaired? \nWhen infrastructure just isn’t there\, HF radio using Near-Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation offers the ability to stay in contact on frequencies of 2–30 MHz for distances of about 30–400 miles. NVIS Day is the ARRL Ohio Section event to test your NVIS antenna designs and builds. Join us on Saturday\, April 23rd to show how well amateur radio can keep Ohio communicating! This is not a contest: it’s an event for Ohio stations to operate with other Ohio stations and understand how well they hear and are heard. \nExchange: six-digit grid\, power\, and true—measured—signal report \nSchedule: This isn’t a contest\, so take your time! Try different designs! Have lunch! \nPower: Up to but no more than 100w \nMore information at: http://arrl-ohio.org/SEC/nvis.html

SUMMARY:2023 Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Every June\, more than 40\,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science\, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service\, emergency preparedness\, community outreach\, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933\, and remains the most popular event in ham radio. \nARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June of each year\, more than 35\,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs\, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations.\nField Day is a picnic\, a campout\, practice for emergencies\, an informal contest and\, most of all\, FUN! \nIt is a time where many aspects of Amateur Radio come together to highlight our many roles. While some will treat it as a contest\, other groups use the opportunity to practice their emergency response capabilities. It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to the organizations that Amateur Radio might serve in an emergency\, as well as the general public. For many clubs\, ARRL Field Day is one of the highlights of their annual calendar. \nThe contest part is simply to contact as many other stations as possible and to learn to operate our radio gear in abnormal situations and less than optimal conditions. \nWe use these same skills when we help with events such as marathons and bike-a-thons; fund-raisers such as walka-thons; celebrations such as parades; and exhibits at fairs\, malls and museums — these are all large\, preplanned\, non-emergency activities. \nBut despite the development of very complex\, modern communications systems — or maybe because they ARE so complex — ham radio has been called into action again and again to provide communications in crises when it really matters. Amateur Radio people (also called “hams”) are well known for our communications support in real disaster and post-disaster situations. \nWhat is the ARRL?\nThe American Radio Relay League is the national association for Amateur Radio in the USA\, representing over 170\,000 FCC-licensed Amateurs. The ARRL is the primary source of information about what is going on in ham radio. It provides books\, news\, support and information for individuals and clubs\, special events\, continuing education classes and other benefits for its members. \nWhat is Amateur Radio\nOften called “ham radio\,” the Amateur Radio Service has been around for a century. In that time\, it’s grown into a worldwide community of licensed operators using the airwaves with every conceivable means of communications technology. Its people range in age from youngsters to grandparents. Even rocket scientists and a rock star or two are in the ham ranks. Most\, however\, are just normal folks like you and me who enjoy learning and being able to transmit voice\, data and pictures through the air to unusual places\, both near and far\, without depending on commercial systems. \nThe Amateur Radio frequencies are the last remaining place in the usable radio spectrum where you as an individual can develop and experiment with wireless communications. Hams not only can make and modify their equipment\, but can create whole new ways to do things. \nVisit https://field-day.arrl.org/ for more information.
