    • VE6NQ will be setting up at Conrich AB east of Calgary again this year

    Please contact Larry to book your seat time or with any questions you may have!

    New Operator's are welcome! Come out and play radio!!!

    We will be using the same location as last year in Conrich!

    Google Map Link

    only about ~1 KM from the Conrich corner (4 way stop sign), and going further east, and after crossing the railway track, is the 5th driveway on the right.

    The location by GPS coordinates is 51.0956227 and -113.853729  

    This is on Township Road 250 which is "straight on" from McKnight Blvd going east from Calgary.  As noted on the CARA Website under EVENTS it is  1 Km from the Conrich corner (4 way stop sign), and going further east, and after crossing the railway track, is the 5th driveway on the right.


    Talk in on 146.52 or on RYC is also expected.


    There will be a sign on the black metal swinging fence gate for "CARA Field Day".  

    A pre-setup may occur on Friday night.  We will be arriving early Saturday and operating Saturday and Sunday with tear down starting at 12:00 Sunday.

    We have permission to use the 20 foot camping trailer as an operating station.  Bring bug dope as there are lots of mosquitos.  Hopefully we will see you there.
