ARRL Field Day is the most
popular on-the-air operating event in amateur radio. On the
fourth full weekend in June, tens of thousands of amateur radio
operators gather for a public demonstration of our service.
Field Day is part educational event, part operating event, part
public relations event – and ALL about FUN!
Field Day is truly the
time in which we bring amateur radio to Main Street USA.
By setting up in parking lots, malls, Emergency Operations
Centers, parks and even at home, amateur operators learn skills
that will allow them to better serve their communities. Setting
up in these public venues gives added public relations value –
their friends and neighbors can see and experience the fun and
public service capability that their “ham radio” neighbors bring
to the community. |
