SUMMER FEST / FIELD DAY-June 22-24-2012
OAUSA will hold our annual Summer Fest and Field Day event on June 22-24, 2012. This will be a three day camping trip in our local mountains in an area where several trail runs are available. On Sunday, we will offer testing for all licensing levels of Amateur Radio.
On Saturday and Sunday we will have several stations participating in the official ARRL Field Day, the single most popular Amateur Radio on-air event in the US and Canada. It’s a great opportunity to demonstrate the value of Amateur Radio, to practice emergency response capabilities, and to enjoy the camaraderie of friends in a great outdoor setting.

FEATURED OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Sequoia National Forest / Kings Canyon
Within a moderately short drive from Los Angeles is one of the most scenic areas of the Sierra Nevada Range in California. With many miles of off-pavement trails to explore, there is never a shortage of great camping and wheeling opportunities. Some of the largest trees in the world exist in the Kings Canyon National Park and surrounding areas. The Sequoia National Forest is one of the finest high altitude (around 9000 feet) forest areas in the country.
