Goals

The goal of a Field Day operating event is to contact as many stations as possible in 24 hours. Each station will exchange information with other participating stations. A typical exchange includes the station call sign, the station location, the number of transmitters concurrently used at the station and information about the type of electrical power source being used.

Importance

Field Day stresses emergency preparedness. Frequently, entire radio clubs get involved and assemble a portable radio station in a field or park. Some might use quickly deployable portable antennas while other might erect more elaborate radio masts and towers supporting several antennas. Generators or solar power provide electricity to amateur radio transceivers, which may be located in tents, recreational vehicles, or other portable shelters.
