SHHHHH! Be warry warry quiet, were going to be hunting foxes!
During one of our rare summer construction projects we built 7 new fox hunting yagis!
All antennas were tested and worked flawlessly, look out foxes. Thanks for everyone’s help to get this done.

Field Day 2023 took place on the weekend of June 24. We had a great event even though a storm that came through about midnight tried to slow things down. Many of our members have shared the photos below showing just some of the the happenings at the 24-hour event.
We’re still crunching the numbers on contacts and bonus points. We’ll post the results when everything has been assembled.
Come join us for ARRL Field Day. Everyone is invited even if you don’t have a ham radio license! Our members will have all of the radios, antennas, microphones and oh-so-many cables all set up and ready for you to get on the air.
Or, maybe you want to talk with one of our members about how we’re communicating with people all over the country and world with an antenna that’s less than 50′ long. It’s really incredible.
The event starts at 1pm on June 24 and runs for 24 hours. Join us at 1406 N. Plum Grove Rd. Schaumburg IL and see what we’re up to.
More information is available on our 2023 Field Day Page including operator sign-up forms for our members.

Bill McGovern W9WEM and me did the 7.5 mile bike ride at Busse Woods at 10:00 am on May 21. We completed the trail in exactly 1 hour. We stopped a few times to drink water and rest. Weather was a pleasant 72 degrees with lots of sunshine.
May 13th we had our first SARC in the Park. Robert W9RKK setup his K3 with a end fed wire thrown up in a tree. The weather was a bit chilly and we had about 9 people showing up.
[Ed.] SARC in the Park takes place on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month when the weather is good.
