Every June, more than 31,000 amateur radio "ham" operators throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to local communities and the nation.
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Field Day event, on June 28-29, combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach and technical skills all in a single event.
ARRL Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio. This year, it is June 28-29th.
