ARRL Field Day 2025

 

ARRL Field Day is the most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US

and Canada.  On the fourth weekend of June, more than 31,000 radio amateurs

gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from

remote locations.

 

Goal, To work as many stations as possible on the

160-, 80-, 40-, 20-, 15- and 10-Meter HF bands,

as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate

in abnormal situations in less-than-optimal conditions.

A premium is placed on developing skills

to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint

the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio

 

Field Day 2025 will be held June 28-29.

Field Day is ALWAYS the fourth full weekend of June.

 

Site Setup begins on Friday June 27

The contest runs from:

June 28-29 1800~2059 UTC (1PM ~ 3PM)
