ARRL Field Day is coming up on June 22-23, 2024 (Field Day is always the 4th full weekend of June). Field Day is a great opportunity for you and your club to connect with the local amateur radio community, to experiment with different antennas or different modes, and to have some fun making contacts. Field Day is also a great opportunity for you and your club to show served agencies, local governmental officials, and the general public what amateur radio is all about. Don't miss this chance to show off amateur radio!
