Ham radio operators across the United States are gearing up for Field Day 2023, which will take place on June 24 and 25. Field Day is an annual event that showcases ham radio’s ability to function in emergency situations. During the event, ham radio operators set up temporary stations in public places and work to make as many contacts as possible over a 24-hour period.

This year’s event is expected to draw thousands of participants, with many clubs and groups hosting their own stations. The event is also a chance for new operators to get involved and learn more about the hobby.

In addition to demonstrating the capabilities of ham radio, Field Day is also a fun and social event. Many groups will have food, music, and other activities to keep participants entertained throughout the day.

Field Day is an important event for the ham radio community, as it highlights the value of the hobby in emergency situations. During disasters, ham radio operators can use their equipment to communicate with others and provide critical information. Field Day is a chance for operators to practice these skills and prepare for any future emergencies.
