The Central Oregon Coast Amateur Radio Club was created to promote the use of amateur radio in our community. Our radio operator volunteers can support communication needs of local groups at community events at no charge. Examples of events we have supported in the past include at the Heceta Lighthouse Christmas Party and along race courses during race events. If you have a need for communications please contact us at info@w7flo.com

Field Day is a club event that takes ideas, coordination, and volunteers. I am relatively inexperienced with Field Day, and so being the coordinator this year is very challenging. I have been leaning heavily on fellow board members for the initial planning- but we need YOUR input and help to make Field Day successful.
I am asking for volunteers to assist with ideas, planning, setup, operating, teardown, etc. Whether you are up for a lot or a little- we welcome and need your participation.
Preliminary framework for this year’s event is:
Comm Trailer as primary operating area, with two HF stations and AREDN mesh.
Station #1 will focus on digital modes utilizing the ICOM 7300. ARES members - this is a great opportunity to get more experience on the standardized equipment found in all the local ops centers!
Station #2 will focus on SSB and CW using the Yaesu 991. This station can pull double duty as a GOTA station when members of the public visit.
We are hoping to get a third station on the air- but need assistance from our members with ideas- what will it be? QRP Tent? Satellite comms? Or nothing?
AREDN mesh will again be utilized to form a backbone network connecting the contest computers, simplifying logging of contacts. We are looking for new ways of utilizing the data bandwidth it provides- maybe a livestream of the contest or other services such as IP telephone service as part of the GOTA experience?
A planning session will be announced in the near future, after we hear back from YOU and get initial feedback! Please contact me (your mostly fearless Field Day Coordinator) at your earliest convenience.
Standing By,
Chuck Burgess
