ORARC 48th Annual Field Day (2024)

The Oxley Region Amateur Radio Club annual Field Day will be held at the Wauchope Showground hall with all the usual field day activities on Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th of June 2024 during the King’s Birthday Long Weekend.  The Field Day dinner will be held at the Port Macquarie Golf Club on the Saturday night.  Mark your calendar now.  The Wauchope Showground permits camping so it is possible to stay on site in your own motor home, caravan or tent with power and amenities.

Our continued thanks go to VK2CLL’s daughter Jacqui for her continued fantastic Graphics Design work!   See everyone in June!
