Next UARC Meeting: 13 June 2024
Topic for
the UARC meeting coming up on Thursday June 13th will be the ARRL Field
Day event, which will take place Fri-Sat June 22-23, 2024. UARC's
Field Day event location will be at the site near Payson Lakes which
UARC has used many times before. Last year the road was damaged
due to flooding, but the road has been fixed so we're back to using the
traditional UARC site, and details of Field Day will be presented at
this meeting.
The meeting starts at 7:30 pm and will be available on UARC's YouTube Channel, live and for later playback.
For directions on how to get to the meeting location at the University of Utah, including elevator access - and to find out which parking lots you can SAFELY park in without getting a ticket - go to the "Directions to the Meeting" page - link.

While the actual field day occurs on June 22-23 there will be club members on site in the days before Field Day - Watch this page for updates as this date draws near.
