2009 ARRL Field Day

2009 Superstition ARC Field Day at Oak Flat

The Fourth Weekend in June is always ARRL Field Day, even if there are five full weekends in June.  For 2009, it starts Saturday, June 27 at 11:00 AM, and ends Sunday, June 28 at 2:00 PM.

If we start setting up before the 11 AM start of Field Day, we can only operate for 24 hours.  This is the way most people run Field Day, but if we begin setting up after Field Day starts, we can stay on the air for the entire 27-hour period.

We have a Superior Field Day site, at Oak Flat Campground, just east of the tunnel on US 60.

Field Day Location:  Oak Flat Campground

Take Superstition Freeway, US60, east toward Globe.  Upon reaching the Superior Tunnel, go another 1.4 miles east of the tunnel.  (Google Driving Directions call out 42.2 miles from Power Road exit in Mesa to Magma Mine Rd.)

Turn right when you come to the Magma Mine Road, and take that 0.4 miles back to Oak Flat Campground, Munds Park, AZCorrection:  Superior, AZ.  Munds Park is way up I-17, north of Sedona, near I-40.  Why Google Maps says anything about our Oak Flat Campground east of Superior on US60 as being Munds Park, I have no clue.  Different county, entirely!  -- Thanks Tom, AD7PM!

Terry, NK7T took some photos of the campground, which are here in our photo gallery:  Oak Flat Campground Pictures.
