QST magazine is meant for ARRL members, but each month one article is free for all. And this month, it's the article on avoiding RFI when running multiple stations, featuring the setup I coordinate with my club, #ConejoValleyAmateurRadioClub, or #CVARC. We were a 23A last year, the largest in the country, and RFI was not a major issue. Its a good read.

@ai6yr Yeah, that photo is by Garry Starr, K6GPS.
Great article, if I do say so myself 😂
What's it about? If you're having interference problems on Field Day, it's because you're ignoring some basic principles. My club's FD is a massive production, biggest there is. We don't have interference problems.

My club had a Winter Field Day picnic today, and while the weather was almost pleasant enough to make us feel guilty, what really impressed me was that 17 people set up portable HF stations.
For a club that many people deride as a "social group", that ain't bad, sport.

Had a GREAT time this evening recording a Ham Radio Workbench podcast, about putting on a large-scale Field Day setup (like the 23A that we pulled off with #CVARC this year). I'll hold off on details until I know more about release dates and so on, but we covered a lot of fun stuff in addition to Field Day.
Thanks to George @kj6vu, Vince @VE6LK, Mark @n6mts, and Thomas K4SWL @qrper!

#ConejoValleyAmateurRadioClub's president, Daphne KN6TXX, has put together a Youtube video about the clubs 23A setup for Field Day. Also features my "boss", Martin AJ6CL the Operations Director. I'm the Education Director, but I also am the Field Day Coordinator.

The Acorn, our local newspaper, had a nice article on CVARC's Field Day...in the first photo, those are phone stations on the right, digital on the left, and CW operators in the next tent in the distance. I try to keep the digital and CW operators separated, because...well, if you know, you know. :wink:

This array is built on the three large masts, covering 10m through 80m each. That layout is repeated 3 times, for Digital modes, phone modes and CW (Morse code). The array is roughly 500 feet long.
6m, plus the VHF and UHF antennas, plus the vertical used for GOTA are within this zone. A long wire is strung around for 160m.
We were able to cover 1.2 GHz to 160M in several modes.

Our antenna array consists of 7 masts spaced about 80 feet apart. Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are 40; tall and have a tri-band beam antenna for 10m, 15m and 20m. Below that are the feed points of 80m and 40m dipoles.
Masts 1, 3, 5 and 7 are 32 feet tall and are used to hold up the ends of the dipoles.
Other bands are placed on tripods within the antenna zone (open only to authorized personnel).

I'll start the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) Field Day posts with some of the infrastructure we set up. These tents are a vital part of it, on load from the EMS services in our county. Two are used for radio ops, while the third is entirely dedicated to Public Information and visitor info. It's amazing to watch them magically take shape.
The City of Thousand Oaks brings their communications trailer for an airing-out also.
