Lockport Amateur Radio Association Field Day 2026

As many of you are aware, due to very recent developments, we are unable to hold Field Day on the Cambria Fire Hall grounds this year.  We have investigated several alternate locations, but unfortunately, none of them have tie off points for antennas.  Given this and the short timeframe to locate a suitable alternate site, we regret that we will be unable to have Field Day operations this year.  We anticipate that we will resume Field Day operations next summer at the Cambria Fire Hall site.   Regarding this year, we encourage you to participate in Field Day operations, individually or in a small group from home or offsite, using AC mains, a generator or a battery.  More information regarding different categories of operation can be found here: https://www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2026/2026-Field-Day-Rules.pdf

Please note that when you submit your log to the ARRL, you can optionally include Lockport ARA as the ARRL-Affiliated Contest Club, to cause your score to be added to our club’s aggregate score which will published in QST (see Section 7 of the rules found at the link above).
