EMA Active Field Day Sites Summary

The following sites are currently marked active. To enter into GPS, set Datum or Geode to WGS84 (should be deault) and Units to Decimal Degrees. (Many units default to Deg,Min,Sec; some APRS systems prefer Deg,Min.mm Decimal Minutes. You can switch these back as soon as you've saved the waypoints. A link to provide conversion is on the site detail page.)

These records are sorted by county and then by Latitude decreasing North to south (so page order is like map order top to bottom, within each county).

For other lists with Site information, see Sites Table Clubs Table, Active Site GPS+detail Table (this page),, Sites CSV extract for GIS/GPS import, (annual Garmin GPI/GPX and KML files available just before Field Day via Tours page) Historic Site Map, Year by year history lists and maps or the main interactive EMA FD Directory.
