Foothill Stake and MARA Nets - 2013 Field Day

========= FIELD DAY 2013 =========
For 2013, the ARRL Field Day is June 22 and 23.  It is always the fourth full weekend in June.

Same location as last year, the pavillion next to the Foothill Stake Center.  Times of operation will be posted later.

This year we are going to do Field Day using DIGITAL MODES of communication.  If you've been wanting to see what that is like, plan to drop by for a while.

The rules for Field Day 2013 can be found HERE. (This link will open in a new window - close that window and you are right back here.

===========
One of our intrepid members decided to get the big $32 Harbor Freight "Battery Charger / Engine Starter / Trickler" rather than the little $14.99 one.  It not only charged the battery, it also produced lots of noise in the radio audio.  Stick with the little one, it produces no radio hash.

Harbor Freight is having several overlapping sales right now and the annual tent sale is next month (June).


The Dollar Days Sale - May 14-27 - going on NOW.

The current 24 page brochure recently mailed to those on the Harbor Freight mailing list includes many items which are DOUBLE DISCOUNTED.  That means that they give the normal sale markdown and then add another discount on to the normal sale price.  Never seen them do this before.  That sale ends May 31st.  If you are not on their mailing list, you are missing out on some great deals!

Finally, there is a multi-page sale brochure that you can pick up in the store with still more items on sale.
