Winter Field Day<\/strong> is an annual amateur radio event where operators worldwide test their skills in emergency communications. Participants set up temporary stations in various locations, often outdoors in challenging conditions. They use radio equipment to contact other stations and exchange information, simulating a real-world emergency scenario. This event helps operators practice their skills and demonstrate the capabilities of amateur radio in disaster response.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>More info can be found at<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/winterfieldday.org\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Field Day<\/strong> is an annual national event run by the ARRL<\/a>, during the fourth weekend in June. We also participate in winter field day<\/a> during the last full weekend of January. Amateurs all across the nation set up outside in tents and parks and make contacts with as many other Amateurs as possible worldwide. This drill represents the largest test of our emergency preparedness, as well as an event to show friends, family, and members of the public what Amateur Radio is about. Operating from portable equipment or on emergency power, amateur radio operators take to the airwaves in droves to earn points and spend a weekend with each other in person, or over the radio. More info can be found at http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/field-day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These are big events for the Lancaster Amateur Radio Club. The club sets up camp for the entire weekend. Food, of course, is a major part of any Field Day, and ours is no different. If you plan on coming out, don\u2019t eat beforehand!<\/p>\n
