We hope to reschedule the program for later in the year. The CVARC Board of Directors will consider the advice and direction of county, state and federal health experts on COVID-19 and make decisions about the rest of the club meetings going forward.

CVARC is now recruiting those interested in participating in Field Day during the weekend of June 27th and 28th this year.
Band captains, operators and support personnel are all needed. Field Day is a great way to learn from mentors and experienced hams. If you have never attended Field Day, we encourage you to participate for the fun, fellowship with fellow hams and an opportunity to learn about the many different aspects of our hobby.
If you have experience with Field Day, we need you again this year! Historically, CVARC has been proud to run the largest Field Day operation in the country. Learn about emergency preparedness and how to make contacts all over the U.S. and the world!
If you are interested in getting involved and having a great time, please contact Martin at AJ6CL@CVARC.org.
