Greetings! — This is the June 2025 Issue
Volume 05, Issue 06 — Posted June 01, 2025

June!   Dairy Month!   Strawberries!  Radio!  And in 2025, seemingly never ending rain.

Really.  June is an awesome month to play radio.  The 4th weekend  (June 28-29) is the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Field Day.  Field Day was designed almost 90 years ago to encourage operators to operate in the field.  CARC uses the cabin at Shaffer Park in Carlisle.  CARC will operate as Class 3A using call sign K3IEC.

Want to practice for Field Day?  These contests will help you make contacts and hone your skills.

  • Atlantic Canada QSO Party NEW FOR 2025 !                   7th
  • Kentucky QSO Party 7th-8th
