Field Day is the largest amateur radio event in North America. Local radio operators set up temporary stations using portable antennas and emergency power to practice communicating under field conditions. Visitors can learn how amateur radio supports emergency communications, public service, technical education, and international communication. No license or experience is needed to attend.
