ARRL Field Day on the fourth full weekend of June every year is the opportunity for thousands of amateur radio enthusiasts throughout the U.S and Canada to set up temporary communications stations and make contact with like-minded people. Licensed radio operators (often called “Hams”) spend the weekend practicing community outreach, emergency preparedness, and technical skills. It’s basically radio heaven.
A contest is held each year with individuals, clubs, and teams trying to make contact with as many stations as possible over 24 hours. Field Day will take place on June 22 and June 23 with over 35,00 people expected to take part. It begins at 18:00 UTC Saturday and runs through 20:59 UTC Sunday. Pack your camping equipment, throw up some temporary antennas, and spin the dials on your radio, because this not-to-be-missed event is rich in history, tradition, and technology.
All hams or non-hams are invited and you don’t have to be a club member to participate. The staff will assist you in getting on the air and teach you how to operate. You don’t have to be licensed to operate.

Parking
As with previous years do not park in the main row in front of the covered gazebo. We share parking with the play park and what better way to get some young operators to stop by than giving them UP FRONT parking! Totally good with loading and unloading things for short term, but let’s be good park friends and leave the space and make some new friends!

Tour de Tulsa 2024
2024-05-04 08:00 - 18:00
Location: River West Festival Park.
Start checking your essential gear: reflective vest, bike rack (or pickup bed), mobile radio with at least 25 watts, (optional) handheld radio for use when out of vehicle, first aid kit, ice chest, personal comfort items, cover for seats to be used by sweaty riders, (optional) bike repair kit, air pump (TARC has loanable pumps). These are the basic items and you can supplement the list as you see fit.
This ride will be using only the APRS units provided by the Tulsa Repeater Organization and the APRS digipeaters provided by TARC. If you have your own APRS, please plan to use one of the provided units so the unit numbers are more easily tracked on the TRO computer system. Net Control will only be looking for those unit numbers on the mapping sys-tem so outside APRS IDs will not show up on the system for tracking.
E-mail any questions to me and plan on a good time. We’ll discuss more details on how to support a ride at the next TARC meeting at TU.
