BDARS will again be participating in the John Moyle Field Day which this year runs over the weekend of 16-17th March 2024.
We will be supporting a six hour block from 12:00 local time to 18:00 on Saturday 16th March.
Due to the bad weather forecast, the venue has been changed to focus around our clubhouse, Cascades Hall, 314 Colburn Avenue, Victoria Point and its associated parkland. Please be there for 9AM if you are setting up, and 11:30AM if you are in the operator group. Colin can provide details how the day’s event will be modified from the original plan.
There may be support for up to for 4 HF bands, and operators will take turns operating the field equipment for up to two hours each.
The contest is run in memory of John Moyle who was the editor of the Wireless Weekly from 1947 until 1960. Serving during WW2 , he kept radio equipment working under arduous conditions .
The contest is to encourage and provide familiarisation with portable and field operation,and provide training for emergency situations.
