On Saturday, June 25th, members of the Massillon ARC gathered at Hartwick Park in Perry Township to participate in the ARRL's 2022 Field Day. Two stations were operated- CW and phone, as well as a GOTA* station. Members of the 6-Meter AM Net group also brought a vintage 1950's Hammerlund Receiver and Heath Heathkit DX-20 transmitter for demonstration, as well as a Xeigu 6100 QRP rig.
Club operators polished their emergency preparedness and disaster communications skills as they reached out to contact other amateur radio operators all over the USA and around the world. Numerous positive reports have already been received from club members, and visitors, to the event. Saturday evening dinner was amazing, and it was nice to see those members we haven't seen in a while.
There were several members who snapped some pics, and here they are. Enjoy!

MARC is recognized by the ARRL as a Special Service Club (SSC). You may be wondering, “What is an SSC, and how does this affect me?”
What is a Special Service Club?
A club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC). They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs, and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.
What about MARC?
As an ARRL Special Service Club, we have met our agreement to develop our skills in specified areas during the past two years in accordance with the guidelines in the ARRL SSC Active Club On-Line Primer.
We have worked closely with our Affiliated Club Coordinator throughout the year to develop these skills. We schedule regular, active training classes to help prospective hams study to pass their required FCC license testing. We have a recently improved publicity program to educate the community with regards to our function.
We have club members who actively pursue technical projects and operating activities. We sponsor and participate in important ARRL and hobby related events such as Field Day.
Bottom Line

The Navajo Code Talkers special event's station, N7C, goes on the air tonight (8pm eastern) and will run through the 19th. Sadly, this news from Arizona adds a special meaning this year-
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — One of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers has died.
Samuel Sandoval’s wife, Malula, says he died late Friday at a hospital in Shiprock, New Mexico. He was 98.
Hundreds of Navajos were recruited from the vast Navajo Nation to serve as Code Talkers during World War II. Sandoval’s death leaves three still alive today.
The code that was based on the then-unwritten Navajo language confounded Japanese military cryptologists and helped the U.S. win the war.
The Code Talkers are celebrated annually on Aug. 14, the date the Japanese surrendered. Malula Sandoval said her husband had been looking forward to the celebration.
