Winter Field Day weekend is January 30 and 31, 2021. SAARS will be operating as N4AUG from Anastasia State Park on Saturday (1/30) at the Watersports Pavilion (same location as the 2019 Florida State Parks on the Air event).

The pavilion has AC power and a good number of picnic tables. We’ll need rigs, antennas, tri-pods, poles, etc. (as we need to keep the antennas out of the trees).
The park admission fee of $8 per vehicle MAY apply. We are looking into that.
We’ll take a survey of available operators and equipment in the weeks to come, please stay tuned for further communication on our web site, at the January club meeting, and on the Wednesday evening net.
