Field Day 2023 Location: Smith-Longwood Estate Grounds in Ridge, NY

Once again, Radio Central Amateur Radio club and the New York Order of Boiled Owls will be joining forces for Field Day. This year we will be operating from the Longwood Estate grounds in Ridge. This location served us well in 2019, 2021, and 2022, and lends itself very well to social distancing with the large barn with the high ceiling. You can find directions to the park here.

We'd like you, the members of RCARC, to give some indication of what your level of involvement will be for Field Day. Also, check out the operating schedule and let me know what time slots you are interested in if you plan to operate.

If you are interested in participating, please drop an e-mail to

We want to make sure that we can fill everyone's needs and expectations so all can participate and enjoy themselves.
