Summer Field day Planning Team - Reservations open in November for the Dane County Parks and end of June is very popular, so getting reservation in is important. We have been at Badger Prairie Park in Verona for over 15 years, it has shelter, bathrooms, water, ample parking and plenty of space to setup antennas.
If you have recommendations for other locations, please discuss on the QST list. Otherwise we will proceed with making a reservation at Badger Prairie.
