Field Day
This is held Annually at various locations across the island. Members and there families grab there camping gear and travel in convoy to the site of choice for a weekend. whether it be by the sea side, or by the river, this site is home for 3 days to a group of radio enthusiast who string antennas from trees, erect towers, and just have plain fun. While friends and family look on in amazement as the Morse code keys start tapping out CQs' and people are on Phone calling CQ also.

This total mayhem is really enjoyable, we wine down at dusk to some campfire jokes, about life people and radio. On Sunday the final day of the event, we have our grand Bar-B-Que. .
