For those wishing to send NTS Radiograms to our Section Manager, Section Emergency Coordinator, or anyone else for bonus points, there will be a special extended edition of the Eagle Net on Saturday June 22, 2024 at 2030 Eastern Time. Dave Rockwell W4PXE, our Section Traffic Manager, will be Net Control of this special edition and will be NCS from W4ACS, the station at the Pinellas County Emergency Operations Center.
Also on the West Central Florida Section Field Day Caravan page there are instructions on what should be included in an NTS Radiogram to our Section Manager or Section Emergency Coordinator and suggested way in which clubs, groups, or individuals may send that NTS Radiogram as well.
The ARRL West Central Florida Section wishes everyone a successful 2024 ARRL Field Day.
