RadioActive & National Field Day 2017 - THIS WEEKEND!
This weekend is National Field Day and NARCs own mini Hamfest we call RadioActive. Its FREE and open to all NARC members, their family and friends and is filled with workshops, talks, food, contest stations and FUN - ideal for new licensees too! Theres even a Drive-In style movie under the moon on Saturday night (if the weather is kind to us) and a radio treasure hunt before Sunday Lunch. You can come for an hour, a day or all weekend including camping or caravanning overnight - its your event!
There are also lots of kits, tools and equipment available to order at special prices (see form) as well as a fantastic RadioActive SuperRaffle of prizes which is drawn at 3pm Sunday and all raise money for Cancer Research and Big C.
RadioActive is a great opportunity to see portable radio stations in action and experience and do the things we can't always do at the club and there is a complete programme here:

TX Factor are also coming to film the event on Saturday so that other clubs will hopefully get inspired to do similar things.
As well as the events going on at RadioActive, there are 2 CW contest stations and a 6m voice station and both welcome volunteers to operate or just come along to see whats happening. And there are still a few slots on both stations if you would like to operate.....
We look forward to seeing you!
(Dont worry if you have not booked - you will be most welcome anytime over the weekend)
