August 8, 2026Join us at Majestic Park for a fun morning of outdoor amateur radio. It’s a great opportunity to test your portable equipment, make some on-the-air contacts, and enjoy plenty of “eyeball QSOs” with fellow hams.
Whether you’re an experienced portable operator or simply curious about outdoor amateur radio, everyone is welcome. Come see different station setups, ask questions, share ideas, and learn from other operators.
We will be located at the gazebo on the north side of the park. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
