PAARC Field Day runs from 2 pm on June 23rd, to 12 noon on June 24th, 2018. This year we’ll be at Welkinweir, part of the the Green Valleys Watershed Association. Their web is: http://www.welkinweir.org A group of PAARC members will be setting up amateur stations in Welkinweir’s covered pavilion with electric power and picnic tables, plus two stations will operate from the nearby field. The elevation here is 452′. Porta-pottie’s and running water are on-site. There is a paved parking lot and a generous number of trees around the pavilion. This is ham radio’s annual open house event, and the public is welcome to join us.
Welkinweir is easy to find going south from Pottstown on Route 100, past Pughtown Rd., to just past the Little’s John Deere dealer, then right onto Prizers Rd., and go 1 mile unto you see the visitor’s entrance on the left. GPS coordinates: 40.15490 / -75.68412. See the PAARC Field Day webpage for details and station info.
