For the August 2026 General Meeting, Mark W6MWK and Smitty WB1G will be giving a wrap-up presentation on last month’s ARRL Field Day event. By all reports the event was a lot of fun, but how’d we do?

Following the Field Day presentation, Smitty WB1G will give an interactive talk about eSSB, an experimental voice mode that is actually NOT illegal! (Good news, right?)

Finally, a reminder that anyone who worked any stations during Field Day from a location other than the club’s FD event can submit their score and include their points in the club’s aggregate score. Just go to https://field-day.arrl.org/fdentry.php and follow the instructions. Be sure to designate “Sierra Foothills ARC” in the “Club or Group Name” field. Even a single contact helps the bottom line! (And, no this is not a solicitation if you’re already doing the same for another club.) Entries are due by 7/28!
