Hey SFARC Members and Guests,
We’ll keep this short and sweet this week. With less than two weeks before RSVPs close for Field Day, the sooner you let us know you’re coming, the easier it is for us meal planning. If you’re coming to Field Day, even for a day, PLEASE RSVP ASAP @ www.w6ek.org/fieldday/rsvp <-- In full transparency, our numbers are low for what we anticipated. ANTENNA/STATION PLANNING We've got an Antenna Planning Meeting coming up tomorrow night @ 7PM (Monday, June 9th) in the club Zoom room. STATION/SHIFT SIGN UPS We've received a few questions about station sign ups. We'll be launching sign ups soon once we complete the antenna planning meeting and have a good sense of what stations we'll have setup. SHIRTS AND MERCH Shirts, coffee mugs and a bunch of fun merch can be found @ www.w6ek.org/merch Standard shipping lead time is June 14-17 so you’ll want to get on this soon or you might have to pay for expensive shipping if you want to get your stuff by Field Day.

Hey SFARC Members and Friends,
Apologies for the extra email this weekend. The promo code previously mentioned for t-shirts expired yesterday. However, we have a new promo code in place that will save you 25% off your entire order (including anything you see in the new merch shop).
If you plan to get a Field Day shirt and you waited… you just saved a little extra cash.

We’ve got some updates for this week and coming weekend.
If you’re looking for something to do on Saturday, join SFARC for some breakfast at Mel’s in Auburn. The fun starts at 0730 but make sure to arrive early for best seating. Following breakfast, we’re going on a hunt.
FOX HUNT THIS SATURDAY The fox transmitter will be hidden within the greater Auburn area. The transmitter may or may not be able to be heard from Mel’s Diner. The fox transmitter and clipboard will be easily accessible from the roadway or parking lot. Sign and time stamp the log when located. The transmitter on 146.565 MHz will be activated 0930 and turned off at 1100. The Fox Tender, AI6US – Brian will announce when the fox transmitter is active and can be contacted during the hunt via the W6EK 2 meter repeater. We will meet for a post-hunt celebration at Burgers and Cream at 1100. Map @ maps.app.goo.gl/wp4LfGwpDg14E2Jo9

I won’t continue to promote Hot RF Nights. OK, maybe one more time! It’s this Saturday and the weather looks GREAT. Saturday’s highs are 77 with a lite breeze. Absolute perfect weather for being outdoors and enjoying an ice cream float. We’re giving away a Xiegu G90 and two really cool battery boxes so bring out your vehicles or go kits (go boxs) and show off your stuff. This Saturday (March 17th), 2PM setup, 3PM start.
