Ham Radio Field Day 2025

In a 24-hour blitz that will include nationwide radio communications, the Elmhurst-based York Radio Club will operate at least three radio stations from the Elmhurst Fire Department Training Facility, 910 N. Addison, on Saturday and Sunday, June 28-29.

The operation will be part of Amateur Radio Field Day, an annual drill started in 1933 that's designed to test emergency preparedness. In past years, more than 30,000 ham operators in the U.S. and Canada have taken part. Visitors interested in learning more about the hobby, or those who are simply curious, are welcome.
