Did you know that Amateur Radio started as a way to communicate in 
emergencies 100 years ago in 1914? 
Field Day is our annual opportunity to invite our friends, neighbors and 
communities to discover and share our passion for emergency communications. 
Radio operators use emergency and alternative power sources since electricity, cell phones, internet and other public infrastructure are often among the first to fail during a natural disaster or severe weather.

Come and learn about using emergency communications: 
- sending data and email without the Internet
- emergency messaging using Radiograms
- sending global email with Winlink 
- resource tracking and messaging using Automatic Packet Reporting 
System (APRS) 
- radio communications using emergency and alternative power sources 
- and more. 
Free, Fun for families, Join Us !
