Field Day
Where the spirit of Amateur
Radio Past joins forces with the Next Generation of
Innovations, Interests and Individuals!!!
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!
Amateur radio is about
knowledge and growth. It is a hobby and service that
truly offers “something for everyone.” Amateur Radio
embraces both the old and new. While CW may no longer be
a testing element, it is still a strong and favorite
operating mode for many. Tens of thousands of operators
are embracing digital technologies, from RTTY to newer
digital modes like PSK31 and Olivia. Phone operation,
probably the largest segment of the hobby, also has new
frontiers to be explored with digitized voice, VOIP, and
IRLP. And this is why Field Day – the largest annual
on-the-air operating event – is so exciting. It gives
all – the old timer and the newcomer, the brass-pounder
and the computer assisted operator – the chance to share
and teach the broad range of modes and technologies we
find in our hobby.
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.
