FIELD DAY UPDATE...
As announced at the May meeting of the MCARC by Tim Duffy, K3LR, this year's field day event WILL NOT be an all-out effort to capture the 2A category.  The change was dictated by the loss of one of the "contester's" as well as by not having the commitments to fill all of the event's positions.  This year's Field Day event will take place as planed at Bulh Park, Sharon, PA, but will mirror the events of the past 2 years as opposed to full-fledged contest effort as seen in the early 90's.
