Families are welcome to come and the kids can talk on the
Ham Radios. The largest annual North American on-air event in all of Amateur Radio. Field Day is part educational event, part operating event, part public relations event – and ALL about FUN!
Field Day is an emergency communication exercise. Amateur radio operators presume there has been a major disruption to electric power and commercial communication systems. The power is off, there is no local phone service, no long distance, no cell phone, no Internet service, even some of the government radio systems have been knocked out. In response, amateurs assemble two-way radio stations operating on emergency power to transmit messages over the amateur bands. Anyone may become a licensed Amateur Radio operator. There are over 740,000 licensed hams in the US, as young as age 5 and as old as 100. #ARRLFD
