BACKGROUND

WHAT is Field Day? ... ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June of each year, more than 35,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations. Field Day is a picnic, a campout, practice for emergencies, an informal contest and, most of all, FUN!  Read more about Field Day here!

WHY Field Day? ... To work as many stations as possible on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meter HF bands, as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio.

WHERE? ... Once again we will be set up at the Loudon County Emergency Management Center.  ... 500 John Parris Dr, Loudon, TN 37774 

WHEN? ... ARRL Field Day is always held on the 4th full weekend in June.  So this year the event is on Saturday June 22 and Sunday June 23.
