[WARC] Winona Amateur Radio Club - Field Day 2008 - June 28 & 29, 2008

"When All Else Fails, Amateur Radio Works"

You are cordially invited to visit the Winona Field Day 2008 site 
operated by the Winona Amateur Radio Club.  As you know, the Amateur 
Radio Service can be an important back-up communications resource in the 
event of an emergency situation or a disaster.

Field Day is an annual emergency preparedness event sponsored by the 
American Radio Relay League, the US national club for amateur radio.  It 
is billed as the largest single amateur radio event in North America.  
By visiting the Winona Field Day site, you have an opportunity to learn 
more about the ham radio resource and how--in your role as a community 
leader--to take advantage of that resource when the need arises.

This year the Winona Amateur Radio Club will feature a demonstration of 
Amateur TV (ATV), long and short distance radio communications, a 
"Get-On-The-Air" station for non-hams to try amateur radio, and a number 
of emergency communications techniques.

Winona Field Day 2008 will be at the Winona Sportsmen's Club, 22933 Gun 
Club Road.  See a map showing directions to the site at 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/fd/locator.php .  The station 
will be in operation from 1:00 PM Saturday, June 28, to 1:00 PM Sunday, 
June 29.  The ATV demonstration and Get-On-The-Air stations will be 
active on Saturday beginning at 1:00 PM until at least 2:00 PM.

You are invited, so we hope to see you there.  You will be very welcomed!
