Field Day Chairman Adam KD0MMG would like to invite those interested in being a shack captain to a site visit of the 2017 Field Day site on Saturday February 18 at 10:00 am.
About 11:00 am the group will relocate Goodnight's Pizza for a discussion of bands and modes, best shack locations and antenna options.
Freedom Park offers many new challenges but also offers a lot of opportunities, which is one of the major aspects of Field Day.
Potential Shack Captains should meet at the Freedom Park Road gate no later than 10:00 am. A park volunteer will be there to unlock the gate (the park is currently closed for the winter) talk in will be on 146.940.
To get to Freedom Park, take Abbot Drive towards the airport. Turn right on Gallup Drive and take the first left. There is a sign that says Miller's Landing, River City Star, Freedom Park. Follow the road east to the gate for Freedom Park.
If you miss the group that gets into the park. Goodnights Pizza is at 1302 Mike Fahey St, Omaha, NE 68102 - they open at 11:00 am on Saturdays.(remember to bring some change for the parking meter)
