Field Day

I am in the process of rewriting a bunch of code on the website in order to clean up the code and make it easier to manage. If you should experience any downtime or errors please wait a few minutes and then try to load the website again. I will post a notification as soon as I am done. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
Example: After cleaning and rewriting the code, here are the Before and After numbers for lines of code that are used to display the next dinner information shown on the left.
![]() | |
Next Dinner Info Code | |
Before: | 254 Lines |
After: | 110 Lines |
As you can see the new code still displays the same data and format. If I were to remove all the coding comments I could cut the number of lines of code back to about 100. In case you were wondering, the website is written using a combination of HTML, PHP and Javascript.

Each year over 35,000 amateurs gather with their clubs, friends or simply by themselves to operate. ARRL Field Day is
not a fully adjudicated contest,
which explains much of its
popularity. It is a time where many
aspects of Amateur Radio come
together to highlight our many
roles. While some will treat it as a
contest, most groups use the
opportunity to practice their
emergency response capabilities. Sun Country Amateur Radio Society sets up shop in Citrus County at Fred's (AE2DX) place. Fred has plenty of space to setup as many antennas as we need. We try to have stations going for most of the contest. Some of our members will be working PSK31, some will be working CW and the others will be working phone. Below are some links to the Field Day activities, including a few photos that were taken at the events. If you have never been to one of these events, I highly recommend you take the time to come out and see what Field Day is all about. Field Day takes place during the 4th weekend in June. If you're a ham radio operator or even a person who is just interested in ham radio, make plans now to join us.
To work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. Field Day is open to all amateurs in the areas covered by the ARRL/RAC Field Organizations and countries within IARU Region 2. DX stations residing in other regions may be contacted for credit, but are not eligible to submit entries. Dates Field Day is always
the fourth full weekend of June,
beginning at 1800 UTC Saturday (-4 hours
