Field Day Are You Ready?

Each year on the last full weekend of the month of June, Amateur Radio

enthusiasts dig out their portable equipment, batteries, and for some, solar

panels, and head for the great outdoors to test their operating skills. Just

be sure to check out your equipment in advance, so you are not all packed

up and ready to go– only to discover that your coax needs to be replaced,

or you are missing some parts you forgot to replace. (Check for parts at

the Knoxville Hamfest on the Saturday before Field Day). Are you READY

for Field Day???

Field day is a GREAT time to get on the air in less than perfect conditions,

since it’s rain or shine! A perfect way to practice for emergency condi-

tions—without the actual emergency! Try operating on some new bands,

test out your CW skills, give digital modes a try at another club station!

THE GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE & MUSIC CITY SOLAR ECLIPSE FESTIVAL

“On August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United

States will see nature's most wondrous spectacle — a total

eclipse of the Sun. It is a scene of unimaginable beauty; the

Moon completely blocks the Sun, daytime becomes a deep

twilight, and the Sun’s corona shimmers in the darkened sky”…. “One of the major cities visited by the

eclipse is Nashville, Tennessee. Folks in Nashville will be singing about this eclipse for years to come

as it is the largest city wholly within the path of totality.” Description and photo from https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/

and https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/tennessee/

We are very excited to announce that a special event—the Music City Solar Eclipse Festival—will be

held on Saturday August 19 and Sunday August 20 at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, TN.

This will feature various vendors, educational exhibits and, of course, AMATEUR RADIO OPERA-

TIONS!

A special event call sign for the Amateur Radio Operation at the Science Center is pending approval.

If you can’t be with us, you will still be able to have QSO with us! We are planning on HF, UHF/VHF

radio operations, a “Spell your name in Morse Code hands-on activity”, and more!

Please be sure to stay checking your ARRL TN Section PIC news for more details about the station,

and this great celebration of one of nature’s wonders!
