ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada.
Field Day is a picnic, a campout, practice for emergencies, an informal contest and, most of all, FUN!

From its beginning back in the 1930’s as an event to test the field preparedness and emergency communications abilities of the burgeoning amateur radio community, Field Day has evolved into the largest on-the-air operation during the year. CQ F

Is it a Contest?
![Page 9: What is the ARRL? The American Radio Relay League is the 165,000+ member national association for Amateur Radio in the USA. ARRL is the primary source](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649db95503460f94aa9531/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Field Day is officially an operating
event not a contest.
![Page 10: What is the ARRL? The American Radio Relay League is the 165,000+ member national association for Amateur Radio in the USA. ARRL is the primary source](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649db95503460f94aa9531/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The contest part is simply to contact as many other stations as possible and to learn to operate our radio
gear in abnormal situations and less than optimal conditions.

We use these same skills when we help with events such as
marathons and bike-a-thons; fund-raisers such as walka-thons; celebrations such as parades; and exhibits at fairs, malls and museums
— These are all large, preplanned, non-
emergency activities.

Is it time to practice emergency response
capabilities?

What it is
It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to the organizations that Amateur Radio might serve in an emergency as well as the general public.

ham radio has been called into action again and again to provide communications in crises when it really matters.
