After a few roadblocks and setbacks... Field Day is happening!!!!! And you all are invited to come out and GET ON THE AIR!!!!
The Ak-Sar-Ben Amateur Radio Club (AARC) is excited to announce its participation in the ARRL Field Day event at Chalco Hills Recreation Area. This annual event, held on June 22 and 23, is a highlight for amateur radio enthusiasts, showcasing the vital role of amateur radio in emergency communications.
What is ARRL Field Day? ARRL Field Day is the largest on-the-air operating event in Amateur Radio. It is a test of operators' skills in setting up and operating radio communication equipment under simulated emergency conditions. Participants across North America set up temporary stations in public locations to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill, and service to our communities and nation.
Why Attend? Field Day is not only about honing technical skills but also about fostering community and demonstrating the value of amateur radio in emergency situations. It’s an opportunity for the public to see ham radio operators in action and understand the importance of maintaining alternative communication methods.
Join us for a weekend of fun, learning, and community engagement. See you at Chalco Hills!
