*BVARC WILL BE DOING FIELD DAY AT DUHACSEK PARK. *
However, instead of the regular contest format, we will have a
“Field Day Lite”
centered around learning, education and just having fun. So,
instead of the normal
8 stations operating, this year there will only be 3 or 4. With
this number
we can concentrate more on the education in amateur radio.

713-826-6917*

training. *
