This year's Field Day Event was held on June 26 and June 27 at Mingo Park in Logan. Hocking Valley Amateur Radio Club members and visitors participated in the setup and operation of the HF stations.
Each year during the last weekend in June,
thousands of amateurs descend on parks, malls, schools, and other
venues to participate in the most popular on-the-air amateur radio
events: Field Day. From the experienced old-timer to the newcomer
to the hobby, Field Day offers something for everyone.
While listed as a contest, Field Day exists to test emergency preparedness. Annually, Field Day brings together the amateur community, local and state authorities, representative of the agencies we serve, and the general public in a national educational exercise. It serves as a once-a-year focal point to highlight the tremendous amount of time, efforts, and talents which hams contribute to the community.
