Amateur Radio Field Day!

Field Day is Almost Here!
Join us for the annual ARRL Field Day event on Saturday and Sunday, June 28-29 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library! Whether you’re a licensed ham, interested in radio communications, or just want to see what it’s all about, this is a great opportunity to connect with the community, get on the air, and learn about emergency preparedness. Come visit us, ask questions, and see ham radio in action!

What is Field Day?
Field Day is the largest amateur radio event in North America, where thousands of radio operators across the country set up portable stations and practice operating in remote or emergency conditions. It’s part contest, part emergency drill, and 100% fun. It demonstrates how amateur radio can serve as a vital communication lifeline when other systems fail. We’d love to show you how it all works—stop by and say hello!
