The Sci-Tech Amateur Radio Society (STARS) at New England Sci-Tech (16 Tech Circle, Natick) and the Wellesley Amateur Radio Society will both participate in the worldwide Amateur Radio Field Day with their own family-friendly events open to the public on June 25-26.

• The STARS event in Natick event will be open to the public June 25, 2PM-5PM and June 26, 10AM-2PM. Sign up on the form on this page. STARS will offer educational demonstrations, maker activities, tours, soldering workshops, and telescope viewing (weather permitting). The Field Day will operate outside in vans and tents using auxiliary power to simulate emergency conditions, but the building will be open. You will not need a radio license to participate in the radio practice and contests, as you can operate with one of the club’s General or Extra class licensees as the control operator. On-site training will be provided. Bonus:  NEST’s Yard Sale continues and will be open June 26, 9AM-Noon.
