Tomorrow is the ARRL's annual Field Day exercise. SCARS will be setting up their operation at Norman Fired Department station 7 on North Base.

In keeping with current CDC guidelines, if you are not vaccinated, you should wear a mask. There will be a license exam session at 1400 local time at the site - sign up if you want to test for a license or an upgrade to your existing license (https://w5nor.org/license/).

Started last fall and have no idea how long it will continue, but today we're doing it again. Discussions are "wide-ranging and eclectic". Always in the ham radio orbit, but apogee is often very far from the planet. The attached directory of amateurs at the National Weather Center has not been updated since *checks notes* Field Day 2019. I will speak to the editor about updates and corrections so send any you find to me and I will pass them along to him. No idea how many will attend today's HHH, but ... 1600 CDT ...
