2026 ARRL Summer Field Day

The 2026 Field Day Was a HUGE Sucess!

 

On June 27-28, 2026. Hurst Amateur Radio Club held Field Day at the Hurst Fire Station #2!

We operated three HF stations on all Field Day bands using Voice, CW and Digital modes. We made hundreds of contacts and enjoyed two continuous days of ham radio.

There was lots of food, including homemade pulled pork sliders, sides and cookies.

We talked radio non-stop and enjoyed our hobby to the fullest. We had several visitors and told them all about our hobby. It was, as always, an exciting two day event that thoroughly tested our emergency operating capability.

If you missed this year’s “Summer” Field Day be sure to join us in January for “Winter Field Day” and again next June on the last weekend for another exceptional Field Day Event!

Happy Semiquincentennial (250th) Birthday America!

End Fed Half Wave Build Project – June 20th

Coming in June! Just in time for Field Day is our End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna project!

On Saturday, June 20th we’ll meet at the EOC about 9:00am and build this antenna kit.
The EFHW is an easy to build portable antenna that is resonant on 40 thru 10 meters. No tuner required!
We’ve put together a kit, instructions and even some extra insulators. You’ll need to bring a soldering iron, screwdriver, needle nose pliers and wire cutters.
The cost is $35.00.

Don’t miss this fun project!
