Gainesville Amateur Radio Society held a "get on the air" event at the Waldo Emergency Operations Center (Waldo EOC) on Saturday September 23rd. Well attended and fun.


2023 Summer Field Day happened June 24-25, the biggest event on the Amateur Radio calendar. We had a wonderful time at Waldo City Square. Even the weather cooperated.
