This year, LCRC's 2013 Field Day activities (June 22-23, 2013) will be conducted at Krall Park in Eniskillen Township at the intersection of Oil Heritage Road and Shiloh Line, just north of Oil City, Ontario.  

NOTE:  THIS IS A CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR'S VENUE!  

Depending on our ability to erect suitable antennas, tentative plans are to run three stations in the 3A Category (emergency power) using the Club's call sign (VE3SAR).  As in previous years, our operation in the contest will be for "fun" and not necessarily for "points" although a log of contacts will be kept for eventual submittal. 

We are now looking for volunteers to assist with setup and takedown.  If you would like to help, please contact our event coordinator, Don Farrar, VA3ZV at ve3dbf@gmail.com.  

As always, the public is cordially invited to visit our Field Day site from 12 PM to 4 PM on both days.  Admission is free.  It's a chance for our neighbors and other friends to see what "Ham Radio" is all about.  

Club members and their families are invited to enjoy a Saturday evening supper and Sunday morning breakfast "on the house" with us at the site.  Supper on Saturday will be served around 5:30 PM and will consist of Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.  Members should bring their own drinks and folding chairs.  Plates, cups, napkins and tableware will be provided. Sunday breakfast will be served around 8:00 AM.  However, so that we know how much food to buy and cook, please drop a quick note to our resident "culinary artiste" (Chet Latawiec, VE3CFK) at chetlat@hotmail.com including the number of persons in your party who plan to attend each meal.

More information on what Field Day is all about can be found at:  http://www.arrl.org/field-day.  As the date for Field Day approaches, we will be posting more definitive information.

Once again this year, LCRC's 2012 Field Day activities (June 23-24, 2012) were hosted by Gary (VA3PGW) and his charming wife Marg, in Gorman City Park immediately adjacent to their spacious home in Oil City, Ontario.  

We ran two stations in the 2A Category (emergency power) using the Club's call sign (VE3SAR), plus a "free" satellite, VHF/UHF and "Get On The Air' (GOTA) stations.  As in previous years, our operation in the contest was for "fun" and not necessarily for "points" although a log of contacts was kept for eventual submittal. 

Club members and their families enjoyed a Saturday evening supper and Sunday morning breakfast "on the house" thanks to the work of our resident "culinary artiste" Chet, VE3CFK and his able staff, including Vera (his XYL)  and Kate, VA3OGF.

Once again, our sincere thanks to Gary and Marg for offering us their gracious hospitality and especially to Don Farrar, VA3ZV, and Bill Bush (VE3BXI) for serving as co-coordinators for our Field Day event this year.  

Needless to say, because of the good work of all of these fine folks...and a whole lot more who joined us to operate or simply to help out...a fun time was had by all.
