What is Field Day?

Field Day is a radio communications event that brings amateur radio operators ("hams") together within your community. The event is part picnic, campout, an opportunity to practice for emergencies, an informal contest, and, most of all, fun! ARRL Field Day is the most popular ham radio activity held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend in June each year, more than 35,000 radio amateurs get together with their clubs, groups, or friends to operate from remote locations.

It is a time when many aspects of amateur radio highlight its many roles. While some will treat it as a contest, other groups use the opportunity to practice their emergency response capabilities. It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate radio communications to the general public and organizations that amateur radio might serve in an emergency. For many radio clubs, ARRL Field Day is one of the highlights on their annual calendar.

Our Field Day is unique as we will have a public event where adults, kids, and families are invited to learn through hands-on demonstrations and building workshops, and try their hand at making contact at our Get on the Air (GOTA) Station.

Our Field Day is a public event where individuals and families can come to learn and experience hands-on demonstrations. Directions to the site can be found below:
