Field Day Background
Field Day is an annual exercise where amateur radio operators from all over the country come together to practice their skills under simulated emergency conditions. During the 24-hour event, participants set up temporary stations and operate under simulated emergency conditions, such as no access to the power grid or traditional communication infrastructure.
The W4CAR Club’s members will be using a variety of equipment and radio frequencies to communicate with other amateur radio operators during the event. This allows them to practice using different types of equipment and developing essential skills that are crucial for emergency communication.
Field Day provides an opportunity for the community to learn about amateur radio and the vital role it plays in emergency response efforts. The W4CAR Club’s involvement in Field Day is just one of the ways they promote and practice their skills, ensuring that they are always ready to respond in case of an emergency.
Visitors are welcome to come and see how the W4CAR Club members operate their equipment and communicate with other amateur radio operators. It is an excellent opportunity for members of the community to learn about ham radio and the essential role it plays in emergency response efforts.
