COVID-19 Notice - Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak the Clubs board of Directors have decided that Field Day this year will be at your own QTH. I am working on a way for each member that has the N3FJP software to upload their contacts for Field Day to the site. More information on this will follow in the next week or two.
Please bear with me as I am working 6 days a week 12-13 hours a day and trying to get this tested and online.
