when we help with bike rallies, parades, museums, and fair exhibits, which are all preplanned nonemergency activities. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933 and is still the most popular event in ham radio. This year, we will be set up at Lake Fannin Lodge to make contacts June 24 – 25, 2023. The club will also have an Educational Activity Bonus. We plan to make some “J-Pole” antennas, solder on PL-259 connectors, and so on. We will also have a “fox hunt” for adventurous hams who want to find the transmitter. We invite the public to join us and check out some of the FUN things that amateur radio can do. Amateur radio is for more than the emergency situations, with contacts made to other hams in the US and those DX contacts in places like Italy, Canada. For more information about amateur radio, check out the club website at www.k5frc. org, follow us on Facebook (K5FRC or Fannin County Amateur Radio Club). To get to the Lodge at Lake Fannin, take FM273 north from Ivanhoe to State Park Road 34. Turn left and keep right at the fork. Through the gate you are almost there. THERE WILL BE SIGNS!
