Radio Connects: ARRL Field Day
2025-06-29
Over 31,000 amateur radio operators (“hams”) across the US and Canada participate in ARRL Field Day each year on the fourth weekend in June. This event combines a picnic, campout, emergency preparedness practice, and informal contest, showcasing amateur radio's role in connecting people, emergency communication, and STEM education. Participants set up radio equipment in remote locations, making contacts with other stations and demonstrating the value of ham radio to the public. It's also a great opportunity for hams to make friends, learn new skills, and give back to their communities.
