******************* June Meeting Power Point & INFO **************************
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 28 and June 29 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!
Don’t forget to be on the look out for TARC Swag for sell this year at the info booth..

Route 66 on the Air 2026
2026-09-12 08:00 - 2026-09-20 17:00 | OK
More Info To Come!!
Band Schedule Signup

Route 66

Welcome to Route 66 on the Air Special Event
We are hoping you choose to activate a Special Event Station under the Call Sign W6L
W6L is a special event call sign for all of North East Oklahoma. The call is registered and administered by the Tulsa Amateur Radio Club but it is available to all Amateur Clubs and Hams in the area who wish to activate a Special Event Station for Route 66’s 100 year Celebration.
Purpose of Route 66 On the Air
The purpose of the event is to commemorate the history of the “Mother Road” connecting the east and west United States. Through stories, songs and TV shows, the highway came to symbolize the spirit of the freedom of the open road, inspiring many to see America.
Route 66, established on November 11th 1926, as part of the U.S. Highway System, stretched approximately 2,448 miles, from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Known as the “Main Street of America” and later dubbed the “Mother Road” by John Steinbeck in his 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, it became an iconic symbol of American mobility and opportunity.
However, the demise of Route 66 began in the 1950’s as the U.S. began its interstate highway system, and the highway was officially decommissioned in 1986. Today, small portions of the U.S. Highway 66 still exist in towns and rural areas in several states.
Although much of the original Highway 66 has been rerouted into a fast-moving interstate bypassing many of the small towns and interests of this nation, we take the week of 12 September2026 to remember and celebrate and share the enthusiasm and memories that Highway 66 represented in it’s time… and even still today.
25 Special Event Stations under the 1×1 call sign have been set up to commemorate this event. W6L is the call sign set up for all of Northeast Oklahoma. Hams all over our area will be On the Air that week, remembering and making contacts and having conversations celebrating the freedom and opportunities that Route 66 represents.
Background on Route 66 On The Air Special Event
Originally started by the Northern Arizona DX Association, it was a way to allow amateur radio operators a fun way to “Relive the Ride.” They also can relive their own memories of Route 66, and get to celebrate the highway’s rich history in making the U.S. what it is today.
Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club (CBARC) in San Bernardino, CA took over the event a couple years after its inception and has grown into one of the best special amateur radio events each year.
Amateur radio clubs using special 1×1 callsigns operate from cities on or near the route from coast to coast. Hundreds of operators worldwide aim to contact as many radio operators as possible who would like to take part in this annual event.
