“CQ Field Day, CQ Field Day; this is Kilo Six Mike Echo Papa, Seventeen Alpha, Sierra Bravo Section” was the radio communication made by our club operators from 11 AM Saturday June 27th to 11 AM Sunday June 28th at the Oxnard College Parking Lot “A” near the Duck Pond.
Thanks to all who assisted with Friday June 26th’s set-up (20 people), operated Saturday and/or Sunday, visited and had a great time whether making Field Day contacts or eating the wonderful food purchased, donated, and “pot lucked”; which was prepared and/or cooked by Mark Ortega, Dave Schmidt and/or Burt Auerbach (and some others).
We have now gathered your information and added it to the N3FJP logging program. We extracted the data and loaded the appropriate files electronically to the ARRL, as well as the other accomplishments (Bonus Points) that the members completed as listed in the ARRL FD 2026 packet.
Here are our results:
