Best Answer

Field Day is a contest, an emergency preparedness exercise, a public relations demonstration, a great event for clubs and a fun way to get on the air. Hams set up away from commercial power and normal installations for 24 hours in June.

It is always the fourth full weekend in June.

The main objective is to work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. Field Day is open to all amateurs in the areas covered by the ARRL/RAC Field Organizations and countries within IARU Region 2. DX stations residing in other regions may be contacted for credit, but are not eligible to submit entries.
