WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #27 – 4/16/15
WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA SECTION FIELD DAY CARAVAN TO TAKE TO THE ROAD ONCE AGAIN
On June 27 and 28, 2015, will be one of the most popular operating events of the year: ARRL Field Day. Again this year your ARRL West Central Florida Section Leadership will be taking to the road for the 15th consecutive West Central Florida Section Field Day Caravan. However this year you will see different people on the caravan. This year Darrell Davis KT4WX our new Section Manager, and Ben Henley KI4IGX our new Section Emergency Coordinator, will be doing the Field Day caravan.
The tentative itinerary will be as follows: The Field Day Caravan will start out in Pasco County and go south through the coastal counties of Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte Counties. Then turn north after visiting the sites in Charlotte County and follow the U.S. 17 corridor up through Desoto, Hardee County, and into Polk County, Then turn southeast and end in Highlands County. This itinerary is due to the fact that Ben and Darrell live in southern Polk and Highlands Counties respectively.
