------------------ FIELD DAY ------------------

Field Day is an event to test the field preparedness and emergency
communications abilities of the amateur radio community.


From it's beginning back in the 1930's, Field Day has grown into the largest
on-the-air operation of the year.
2,100 clubs and individuals
across the US and Canada participate each year.
Over 31,000
individual hams participate and over 1.4 million
messages
are exchanged in the brief 24 hour period.


The purpose remains today as it did in the beginning:
to demonstrate the communications ability of the amateur radio community
in simulated emergency situations.

Field Day offers an opportunity for operators to gain valuable experience.
