PAARA will be back for Field Day this year (2023) at Bedwell Bayfront Park in Menlo Park for the first time since 2019!
After a long hiatus, PAARA will once again be hosting the annual Field Day event at Bayfront Park, the site of many successful Field Days over the years.
With turnout and participation a little uncertain, we are easing back into the event with a Category 2A entry this year. That means 2 HF transmitters, running 500 watts each, under new rules this year. Unlike previous years, neither station will be dedicated to a particular operating mode, but both will be equipped for phone, CW and possibly even digital modes, so operators can choose their preferred mode.
We have always had a BIG signal, thanks to our excellent operating location on Radio Ridge with sloping terrain leading down to the western edge of the bay, giving us the additional boost of the Salt Water Amp effect. I cant wait to see how things work at 500 watts.
Were also hoping to have our usual excellent GOTA station where we can get folks on the air who may not have any HF experience of even a license. Our terrific GOTA Captain, Christopher, AI6KG, has a new job and an uncertain schedule. Were keeping our fingers crossed for him to be there with us, but if you or anyone you know might be interested in helping out at GOTA by coaching our inexperienced operators, please let me know.
Set up starts this year on Friday morning around 9:00 in the back corner of the park where we have traditionally established operations, with assembly of antennas, and getting them in the air.
We will be erecting 2 full-sized beam antennas this year, our 6-element KT-36XA tribander, which will be shared by both stations through Kristens Hi-power triplexer and filter setup. Thank you Kristen!
The tribander goes up on one of our AB-621 military masts, and the BIG 40 meter mono-bander will be on the tower trailer as always. Well have an 80 Meter Dipole up for nighttime operations. Getting those up safely requires many hands, so please come out to help.
In addition to getting antennas up, we will need to run network cables, feed lines and power cables to the stations, both of which will be along the ridge where we have usually set up our two A stations in U-Haul box trucks.
Well also set up the food and socializing area in the usual place at the fork of the road leading to the ridge. That entails setting up the big red canopy, anchoring it against the wind and dragging tables and chairs out of the box trailer and getting them set up.
And of course, at the end of the event on Sunday morning, we have to take it all down, pack it up and take it all off the Park. Mnay hands make light work of all of this, so please bring yours out to join the effort.
This year, we will start on Friday morning at 9:00 AM and work until we run out of daylight or things to do. Saturday morning starts at 9:00 again, making sure we have all the details handled and stations set up and tested. Operations begin at 11:00 and run for the next 24 hours straight.
We strive to keep both of our primary stations on the air for the entire 24 hours, so please pick a time slot and sign up to operate. Sign up sheets for operating positions and times are available on-line at tinyurl.com/FieldDaySchedule.
As I write, there are NO signups. Lets see if we cant fill all of our open slots well in advance of the event. This is an opportunity to work the biggest operating event of the year from superb stations in an excellent location. Dont miss your chance to participate.
We also have two key positions as yet unfilled, A station Captain and food coordinator.
Our A station captain bowed out due to family considerations, so were looking for someone to fill that position. It involves setting up the station in one of our rented box trucks, setting and connecting the radio, amp, logging computer and other accessories for comfortable operations.
Food coordination involves procuring ind dividing and repackaging sandwich ingredients for the usual make-it-yourself lunch on Friday and Saturday, as well as hot soup and hot dogs for Saturday night dinner for the troops. Jim, K6SV, who so ably performed this essential taks for many pasty Field Days can advise you on how much and wht to get, and how to best make it ready for consumption, so you dont have t make it up as you go.
Please give some thought to taking one of these important jobs to help our 2023 Field Day be a success.
For questions, or to volunteer to help, please contact me, Doug, KG6LWE by e-mail at dteter@wcwi.com.
Please join us at the park for our triumphant return to the Big Leagues!

Announcing A Contest Within An Event
Field Day 2020
The PAARA board gathered on Zoom for a couple of quick meetings a few days after the board meeting to consider the idea of a PAARA club member competition as part of Field Day this year. As there isn’t an official PAARA FD site this year due to conditions out of our control, the board agreed that a bit of friendly competition would “spice” the event up a little. Thus, the PAARA club contest was born. Please check out the rules, which are rather straight forward. The board debated on what the prizes should be tossing around several ideas. Our concern was having a prize that was of use to the winner. Thus, the idea of HRO gift certificates. The board felt the diversity of products at HRO could surly fill someone’s need for new “something or another”. We also wanted to recognize any teams, more than one operator using a common call sign, independent of single operators. Realizing that team scores would, by their nature, be higher than for single operators, we created a separate first-place prize for them. However, we also felt there would be far more single operators than teams thus we decided to have 2nd and 3rd place prizes for single operators. We hope all members can find some time over FD weekend to participate. Several clubs in the Bay Area have worked together to develop a plan for operation on 2M simplex. Please check out the “Field Day 2020 on 2M” for information.
Also note: there is a PAARA sponsored Zoom meeting during FD for members to chat, get assistance, or whatever during FD. It’s an unmoderated “drop-in if you wish” place where PAARA members can engage other members. I will open the meeting secession at or around 9 AM on 6/27. It will remain open for 24 hours. Please feel free to stop by during the event.

Hiller Aviation Museum Tour - POSTPONED
I’m sorry to announce that, due to the coronavirus and an abundance of caution for our community health, we are postponing the PAARA visit to the Hiller Aviation Museum. Hiller is following recommendations from the San Mateo County Health Department and closing part of its hands-on exhibits and changing some other protocols. We will be working closely with Hiller to reschedule our trip; likely sometime in the fall. If that isn’t possible, we’ll try again to schedule next spring. If you have reserved a spot for the tour, your money will be refunded.
We appreciate your patience and understanding about this postponement and look forward to rescheduling the trip for you in the future. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will try to answer them.
In June 1943 the Liberty Ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien slid down the ways at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation in South Portland, Maine. Shortly thereafter she entered service, operated by Grace Line for the War Shipping Administration. Named for the first American to capture a British naval vessel during the Revolutionary War, the O'Brien made seven World War II voyages, ranging from England and Northern Ireland to South America, to India, to Australia. She also made eleven crossings of the English Channel carrying personnel and supplies to the Normandy beaches in support of the D-Day invasion. After the war, she was "mothballed" and laid up in the Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay, north of San Francisco.
Join us on a tour of the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, a WWII Liberty Ship. The cost is $33 per person and includes a docent guided tour of the ship and a box lunch provided by Boudin’s Bakery. Estimated tour time is about 3 Hours. If you choose, you may also, on your own, tour the SS Pampanito, a WWII Submarine docked just forward of the SS Jeremiah O’Brien. Tour Details

SS Red Oak Victory Ship Tour
November 10th, 2018 @ 10:00 AM
SS Red Oak Victory is the last surviving vessel of 747 ships of all types that were built at the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards during World War II. She is also one of the last surviving World War II Victory ships. The Red Oak continues to serve today as a museum ship and as a monument to the thousands of men and women who worked hard to build these ships in a time of national crisis. These ships, along with their cousins the Liberty ships, were built on an emergency basis to carry vital supplies and troops to all theaters of war. The Victory ships remain today as a symbol of the national resolve and industrial might that won the Second World War.
Join the group on a tour of the Red Oak Victory Ship on Saturday, November 10, 10 A.M. With the members of both PAARA and MDARC, this will be a fascinating tour that will offer a chance to meet our neighboring radio club members.

Pacificon 2013, Oct 11 thru Oct 13
W6P Special Events HF Station
391 contacts, 25 countries - WOW what fun!
What a wonderful event Pacificon 2013 was again this year. Lots of speakers, lots of people, lots of vendors, and even some prize winners. As you know PAARA operated the HF Special Events Station, W6P. We had a great time. The station went up and was operational in about four hours. That time included a couple of do-over's and some idle time. By Friday noon, we had one station up and working. By 1:00 PM, two more were on the air. The stations were an Icom IC-756Pro, a Yaesu FT-1000MP, and an Elecraft K3 all running 100 Watts. By 3 PM Saturday, the Icom and the Yaesu were feeding 500 Watt amplifiers and by 9 PM Saturday, the Elecraft also had a 500 Watt amplifier behind it. This was a really fantastic effort by PAARA members working together. I especially have to thank Rick, N6DQ for the use of his trailer, HEX Beam, Radio, two amplifiers and almost all the interface cabling.
We initially activated 20, 15 and 10 Meters using Rick Huisman's tower trailer and HEX beam. What a crowd of looky-loos that arrangement created. Rick could be a spokesman for both K4KIO HEX Beams and Texas Bragg Trailers. Tom Schiller, N6BT brought one of his new 40 Meter Verticals that worked very well. Saturday after the flea market cleared out we strung 80 and 40 Meter dipoles courtesy of Rebar, N6DB. They worked very well and carried most of the contact load Saturday night. Rebar worked from about 9 PM Saturday night until 8 AM Sunday morning. What an effort.
On Saturday there was also a 2 Meter Parachute Mobile rig set up so contacts with the jumpers could be made. John, KI6BEN handled that station and what a crowd it drew. Thanks John.
Unfortunately, a count of visitors and operators wasn't taken but I know there were a lot. At times one couldn't move in the tent. A real high point is when a lad of about 9, made his first ever ham radio contact with a station in Belgium. He was so excited. I think we may soon have a new ham.
There are a ton of people I want to thank for all their help and efforts with this PAARA run station. I captured the names of most who helped. If I didn't acknowledge you, I apologize. There is no malice intended. Please forgive me. Here are the names and calls in no particular order: From PAARA:
Jim Thielemann, K6SV (ex-KI6KVW); Eric Thielemann, KJ6LAY; Rick Huisman, N6DQ; Joe Nichols, KJ6YTA;
Barry Redding, KK6EIP; Joel Wilhite, KD6W; Joanna Dilley, K6YL; John Vargas, KI6BEN;
Darryl Presley, KI6LDM; Rebar Rebarchik, N6DB.
From Mount Diablo Amateur Radio Club: Jim Siemons, AF6PU who headed up the whole Pacificon 2013 event; Mitchell Boyce, W8DOD; John Welden, KJ6GLQ
We of course thank the Mount Diablo Amateur Radio Club for giving us this opportunity. It was a blast for me and I hope that is true for all involved.
Just a heads up, we have been asked to support the Pacificon 2014 Special Events Station W6P again next year. The dates are Friday, Oct 10 through Sunday, Oct 12, 2014. Put those dates on your calendar and join in the fun.
I look forward to having another successful event next year. I also look forward to working with all of you again and hopefully many more from PAARA. We have a great club. Let's again take the opportunity to show the amateur radio community how really great we are.
Thanks and 73,
Marty W6NEV

FARS/PAARA Winter Banquet - Friday, January 20, 2012
The Foothills Amateur Radio Society (FARS) and the Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association (PAARA) present this ham radio event and fete. This annual event is open to anyone who wants to attend, but reservations are required. All members are encouraged to sign up now for this special annual event. Bring a spouse or a friend and of course bring a few dollars for the raffle.
This year's PAARAshoot wll be held at the Santa Clara County Field Sports Park on Sunday, July 31, 2011. It will be a joint firearms shooting event, sponsored by PAARA and the Santa Clara Valley Rifle Club (SCVRC). The event was started by the late Elaine "Trish" Gibbons, WA6UBE, and her partner Carla Satra, who have been volunteer rangemasters at the South County Field Sports Park in San Jose for many years.
Through their good offices, we have been granted the use, without charge, of the 200 yard rifle range, one of only two 200 yard ranges in the Bay Area. We have the range to ourselves for the entire day.
Setup begins around 8:30 or so, so if you'd like to help, please come first thing. We shoot until 3:30 when we begin cleanup/packup, so we can be off the range by 4:00.
All are encouraged to bring a little extra .22 ammo, and any interesting or unusual firearms they may have to show. Lunch is potluck, so bring your favorite grille-able items and sides to share. There is a fair amount of shade there, but it still gets hot. Bring plenty of cold drinks.
In addition to the treat of getting to shoot on a 200 yard range, it's always a fun gathering. Come out to do something a little different with your radio friends. You'll have a BLAST!
