2022 FIELD DAY AND SUMMER FEST
OAUSA will hold it's annual Field Day and Summer Fest event on June 24-26, 2022, at the Mt. Pinos Campground in the Los Padres National Forest. This will be a family event involving three days of camping in the mountains (elevation 7800 feet), an official ARRL Field Day competition, trail runs, great food and drink, and an opportunity to relax in the mountains of the Los Padres National Forest. We will also offer all levels of Amateur Radio license testing on Sunday.
For those who want to explore the area,
there are hundreds of miles of off-pavement 4WD trails, including some
of the more challenging, (Miller Jeep Trail) as well as many hiking
trails.
The campsite is accessible by paved roads and all vehicles are welcome.
