Picture
The San Francisco Radio Club will be hosting the ARRL Field Day 2018 at the Golden Gate Park National Recreation Area (GGNRA), Fort Miley West, immediately west of the San Francisco V.A. Medical Center. This is the same location we hosted Field Day 2017. Setup begins at 8am on the 23th (Saturday) and we'll be on the air by 11am that morning. Continuous operation will conclude Sunday the 24th. Plans include lunch and dinner on Saturday and Breakfast on Sunday morning. All are welcome and encouraged to participate. Bring friends, relatives and neighbors. Everyone gets on the air! Be there-it's a fun time! 

We will be operating a "Get On The Air", GOTA, station so unlicensed individuals are also welcome to join us and operate our radios!!! ​We thank the V.A. once more for their help in providing us with large operating tents as well generators for power.
