The Electromagnetic Field festival is sold out. The nonprofit community camping event will turn a field in Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire, into a true field day between the 16th and the 19th of July. Already the scientists, engineers, blacksmiths and crafters have been making their plans.
So too have the amateur radio operators in the field and on the air throughout the event as special event station GB26EMF based in the AMSAT-UK/British Amateur Television Club Village. Among the 4,000 on site, any licensed hams will be welcome to get on the air.
Despite the sold-out tickets, organisers still have room for adventurous presenters wanting to provide entertainment by singing, showing films or providing music on their own homemade instruments. Clever installations are also welcome. Previous years have featured a robotic spider, a radioactive xylophone and an upside-down campfire. If your proposals for entertainment, workshops or installations are accepted, you are welcome to enjoy the rest of the festival. See the links in the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.org to submit a proposal or to get more information about the AMSAT Village.
