Field Day 2024 - Come Be Radio Active With Your Club
For many Amateur Radio Operators, Field Day is a highlight of the year
Peg KDØVQO and Ed KUØRTZ Operating Field Day If you haven't had your share of HF radio activity at home this year, this is your chance to "Be Radio Active". This year, we want members who have not been as active as they'd like to be to join in setting up and running the stations. ARRL Field Day is one of the largest operating events for amateur operators and radio clubs across America, with some contacts in foreign countries. It has been an annual event since it's start back in 1933, and provides an opportunity to practice emergency preparedness skills aimed at supporting the public in times of disaster when normal communications infrastructures fail. SFTARC has made it essentially a yearly event since the club was founded. In the earlier years, it was set up in various parks; however, since the 1980s, it has been held at the Ensor Park and Museum.
