W1AW Bulletin

From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT June 24, 2011To all radio amateurs

SB oCL ARL ARLX004ARLX004 2011 W1AW Field Day Bulletin

Field Day magic comes from various sources. During the season ofE-skip and sporadic-E, operators can quickly discover why 6-metersis called the magic band. Propagation enhancements help make ARRLField Day a prime time to learn and experiment on the VHF / UHFbands. Experience the world about 50 MHZ for yourself. All FieldDay groups operating in Class A and those at 2F many utilize a freeVHF / UHF station without increasing their operating category.

Word from NASA officials is there is a good chance that at least one- and possibly both - of the stations onboard the ISS may beparticipating in FD this year. It may take extra planning and bitof luck by your group, but there is no greater boost to FDenthusiasm than to complete a contact with the ISS. Look to theheavens and see what happens.

The quality of Fieid Day is directly proportional to the amount offun experienced by the participants. Life is more than just 140characters or sharing online. Whether you are age 8 or 92, use thisweekend to be part of the amateur radio magic that ARRL Field Dayoffers.

Good luck aid 73.NNNN
