7:00 am: Winter Field Day


January 24, 2026

Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 24, 2026 to participate in the Winter Field Day.

Our club will be operating at Majestic Park on the city's Northwest side, not far from Lone Mountain Road and 215.  The exact Address:  9955 W Alexander Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89129

This site offers plenty of room for antennas, good elevation, and an exceptional line of sight to the East/Northeast.

Our goal is to have fun.  We are not looking at this outing as competitive contesting for the Winter Field Day, but an opportunity for a good time.

Our local call in frequency will be 146.5500 simplex.

We will be operating in Winter Field Day with the callsign of N7L.  Set up starts at 7:00 AM.  The Winter Field Day event starts at 8:00 AM.  We will continue operating until approximately 4:00 PM.

For information on the Winter Field Day event go to:  https://winterfieldday.org

In addition to the Winter Field Day contest stations, at 9:00 AM a DMR station will participate on the World Wide Net. The Las Vegas Check-ins usually start at about 10:30 AM.  The net usually continues until about 12:00 PM.

So bring your gear, dress warm, and join us, or just stop by to visit.  Please bring your own food and beverages.

If you're a newly licensed operator, new to our club, or new to Las Vegas, we're extending a special invitation.  It would be great to meet you.
