Setup and Testing: 9:00 AM Lunch: Field Day: 12 noon till: Needed: power supplies, extension cords, tables, chairs, tents, coolers, fans LUNCH MEAT: Chicken by Jericho K5ALA SUGGESTED SIDES: Baked Beans Potato Salad Chips Green Salad Whole/Sliced Tomatoes Vegetable Casseroles Other: Fruits/Cantaloupe Desserts Rolls/Bread DRINKS: Tea β SWT/UST; Water; Soft Drinks; Other Please advise Connie Long, KI5IKJ @ 662-436-4311 (text or call, although text is preferred) per what you think you might bring so I can line up more food as needed. You will have access to my house/kitchen for refrigerator or stove use as needed as well as to cool off as well as bathroom facilities.
We are about 10 miles away once you turn off Hwy 45 at the Sprint Cross Roads Gas station (at the only Stop Light in Hamilton, MS). At about 7 miles up, the road splits. Go left up on Grubbs Springs Rd for about 3 miles. The road sign is not clearly visible so JUST VEER LEFT AT THE FORK IN THE ROAD onto Grubb Springs RD. When you are approaching our drive, you will pass a large, empty fenced in area, then a single family dwelling, then a wooded area with small family cemetery. Once you pass this, our driveway turn in is a very sharp right turn (again, wooded, so wonβt see until you are up on it). Our mailbox is numbered. There are actually three mailboxes there. If you pass the driveway/private road, you will see nice brick home on your right. There is a turn-around drive way just past that house, but on the left side of the road.
WE ARE BACK IN THE WOODS SO YOU WILL NOT FIND US UNTIL YOU DRIVE UP OUR LONG DRIVEWAY, UP THE HILL.
AS YOU COME UP THE HILL, TURN RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. YOU WONβT MISS THE BARN.
Saturday and Sunday June 22-23 Meridian Amateur Radio Club will be participating in summer field day. This is a nationwide event. MARC will operate from the Collinsville Fire and Rescue building located at 11710 Nancy Dr, Collinsville, MS. Setup will begin approximately 10:00am Saturday June 22.
We ask that you bring your friends and family out to learn about the hobby. Some of the things you can expect to see are the info table, multiple operators, media coverage, and an instructional table. Kids are welcome. Hopefully we can ignite a spark in them, so ham radio can be enjoyed for generations to come. We hope to see you all there.
As an added note: KI5HCM aka Buford will be our acting safety officer. I have no doubt he will keep us all safe. I look forward to seeing you all at field day, until thenβ¦
