ARRL Field Day

ARRL Field Day is an annual event organized by the American Radio Relay League that brings amateur radio enthusiasts together to practice emergency communications, promote public awareness, and showcase radio skills. Participants set up temporary radio stations in outdoor or public areas, often in challenging conditions, to simulate real-life emergency situations. The event emphasizes teamwork, technical proficiency, and community engagement, encouraging operators of all levels to connect with each other and the public. It serves both as a fun, competitive activity and a valuable training exercise for maintaining communication readiness in emergencies.
