ARROW Field Day 2025
Ann Arbor Airport soccer fields, 801 Airport Dr.
June 28-29, 2025 – 2pm Saturday to 2pm Sunday
Field Day, an amateur radio event that takes place on the last full weekend of June every year, is an emergency communications exercise, public outreach event, and social event all rolled into one. Hams operate round-the-clock from tents and RVs using emergency power supplied by gas generators, solar panels, and batteries. You are invited to watch, join in, and get on the air!
On Saturday June 7th a team from ARROW supported the American Diabetes Association’s Tour-de-Cure Bicycle event that raised over $275,000. This money goes to increasing awareness, provide vital programs, fund lifesaving research, and work toward a cure for diabetes.
ARROW provided radio communications for event officials to track rider progress and rider support along the route for bicycle issues.
During the event the ARROW team helped keep riders on the event route, help a couple riders with bicycle issues, transported one rider back to the event headquarters, gave updates to local law enforcement officials, and helped a family member find their rider they were looking for.
The ARROW Communications Association and the Toledo Mobile Radio Association (TMRA) are proud to sponsor a motor coach trip to the Hamvention 2025 in Dayton, Ohio. This one-day trip leaves early in the morning on May 17, 2025 and returns the same day after Hamvention closes for the day at 5:00 p.m. The bus has two pickup spots, in Ann Arbor and in Toledo (Rossford). Please join us! Tickets are $70 per person. Please note that this does not include the Hamvention ticket, which you need to purchase separately.

Hello ARROW,
After our last general meeting the facilities manager at Liberty school in Saline informed us that they will need to start charging us for the use of the cafeteria. Once we received this information, we started to look for other venues to host our meetings that meets our needs.
We have found a venue that meets our needs and is a good partnership but requires a move in the meeting date. We did a review of other amateur radio meetings and activities to decide on a good day of the month for the ARROW general meeting.
Going forward the ARROW general meeting will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 7:00-9:00pm (6:30pm pre meeting gathering). The meeting location will be at Maker Works (3765 Plaza Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48108) which is down the street from the Ann Arbor Airport.
The plan is still to have the meeting as Hybrid with zoom for those that can’t join in person. We hope that everyone is still able to attend our general meeting with the date change. The location should be easier to access as it is just off of the I-94 State Street exit.
To learn more about what topics are on the agenda for the general meeting please visit our website for details (https://w8rp.org/2024-meetings/).
Thanks for your understanding
When: Monday, January 15th, 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm
Where: County Farm Park, 2230 Platt Rd. Ann Arbor, MI 48104
AMPteam Outings take place once every month all year long, rain or shine. We gather at a common location, set up and operate portable HF, VHF, and AREDN Mesh Microwave stations. This provides an opportunity to hone our skills in rapid and efficient deployment of Amateur Radio stations into the field in what are oftentimes non-optimum conditions.
