The Imperial Valley Amateur Radio Group proudly hosted another successful ARRL Field Day event in 2025 at the De Anza Rescue Unit building in Imperial, California. This year’s event was a great success, marked by strong participation, excellent operations, and a vibrant spirit of camaraderie.
Special thanks go out to the dedicated volunteers of the De Anza Rescue Unit, whose support and presence were instrumental in making this event run smoothly. Their hospitality and collaboration were deeply appreciated by all.
We also recognize and commend the nine amateur radio operators from our group who took part in the operations and setup:
Tommy Jr KI6SJB
George KA6ASF
Terry KG6FGB
Henry WA6AUP
Emmanuel KM6YPQ
Marcos N6EES
Antony KM6SOX
Gary KM6LKP
Larry KI6YAA
These operators worked tirelessly over the weekend, making nearly 200 contacts across Phone, Digital, and CW modes, showcasing the skill, dedication, and teamwork of our local amateur radio community.
We were honored to receive a visit from ARRL Southwestern Division Director Richard J. Norton, N6AA, who spent time with the team, observed the operations, and expressed appreciation for the group’s continued efforts in supporting amateur radio and emergency preparedness.
This year’s Field Day stood out for its high energy, improved coordination, and enthusiastic participation. It was a testament to what can be accomplished when amateur radio operators and community partners come together.
Thank you to all who participated, supported, and visited. We look forward to seeing you again next year for another unforgettable Field Day experience!
