Field Day

The Cumberland Valley Amateur Radio Club invites you to join us for our annual Field Day event on June 28 & 29, 2008.

We will be setting up from about 9:00am Saturday, operating from 2:00pm Saturday to about 1:00pm Sunday, with teardown completed by 3:00pm Sunday. We expect to be operating as 3A, with GOTA and VHF/UHF. Talk-in is on W3ACH 147.120+ (no PL) repeater.

Our location will be the C.V. Antique Engine & Machinery Association's show grounds west of Chambersburg. The showgrounds address is 1501 Crider's Church Road, Chambersburg, PA. These equivalent coordinates locate the center of operations:

  • decimal degrees: 39.943833N, 77.744833W
  • lat/long: +39° 56' 37.80", -77° 44' 41.40"
  • GPS coord: N39°56.63, W77°44.69

Directions: Take 81 to 30W exit, travel about 6 miles on 30W, at the signal-light turn right on Twin Bridges Road and go (carefully, due to the sharp curves) 1.5 miles. At the intersection, bear left on Criders Church Road, and in about 1000 feet, turn left at the show grounds entrance.

We are listed on the ARRL Field Day Locator under W3ACH. Here are printable directions to our Field Day Site from US-11N, US-11S, and US-30W. And here is Google Maps' suggestion on how to get there from the intersection of Routes 81 & 30.
