Come Join us for Field Day 2013 the

MVARA Way

                

  

                   

 

  

The MVARA will be participating in the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsored Field Day.

We operate from the upper floors of the Onalaska Parking Ramp located between Stoney Creek and Gundersen Lutheran Clinic on Gundersen Drive just off of South Kinney Coulee Road in Onalaska.

 

  

The Field Day equipment includes UHF, VHF and HF beam antennas along with dipoles for the HF bands. We also have tracking satellite programs as well as antennas to work the "birds”. There are two portable antenna towers each sporting tri-band beam antennas complete with their own rotors and controls as well as many dipole antennas.

  

The MVARA now offers Monthly V.E. Testing!

Volunteer Examiner Testing for that new ham ticket or for that long awaited upgrade will take place at the monthly MVARA meetings. Check our Event Calendar for dates and times.  

To schedule an appointment for VE testing or for more information about the MVARA, drop us a short note on the Contact Us page.
