June 2026
June is officially here, and it brings two of the most important events of the year for our club. We have a lot of moving parts this month and your participation is what makes our community thrive.
Annual Election of Officers - First and foremost, our annual election of officers will take place during this month’s meeting. This is your opportunity to help shape the future direction of JCRAC. Whether you are running for a position, stepping up to help a committee, or casting your vote, please make every effort to attend. Your voice and your vote matter!
Field Day 2026: Shawnee Mission Park - The main event we’ve all been preparing for is finally here - ARRL Field Day! Again, this year, we are setting up our operations at Shawnee Mission Park. Field Day is our premier showcase for emergency preparedness, public outreach, and, of course, getting on the air (GOTA) to see how many contacts we can rack up.
To make this weekend a success, we need all hands-on deck for two critical phases:
Friday Setup: We need a robust crew to help transport gear, hoist antennas, run feedlines and configure stations. The more volunteers we have on Friday, the better our odds of beating the heat and the smoother our Saturday launch will be.
Overnight Site Security: Once the equipment is up on Friday, we cannot leave it unattended. Volunteers are needed to camp out Friday evening. You can even “test” the equipment under the stars. Please let us know ASAP if you would like to volunteer.
Whether you are a seasoned contester, a new ham eager to learn or someone who just wants to log contacts, come out to Field Day an enjoy the camaraderie. Thank you for everything you do to keep JCRAC strong. See you at the meeting & at Field Day!
73,
Bill KA2FNK, President
