Field Day

Field Day activities are held every year on the 4th full weekend of June, by hams all across the country. It was conceived as an emergency exercise; testing the capabilities of groups, as well as individuals, to operate without the use of commercial power. This would be the case, in the event of a disaster. But, besides that, it is a lot of fun and a chance to get together with friends and contact hams in other areas of the country and the world. The size of Field Day operations can range from small and simple, to large and elaborate. Whatever the scale, all who participate say that it is enjoyable, a real learning experience and can't wait for next year.

So, when you hear of a club or group having a Field Day event near you, come out and see how much fun it is to "Talk It Up" on the air !
