2024 ARRL Field Day
Theme: Be Radio Active The theme for 2024 ARRL Field Day is "Be Radio Active." The event will run on June 22 - 23, and it will be one-part contest, one-part emergency communications exercise, and one-part open house -- and a great time. The theme encourages radio amateurs to take advantage of the peak of Solar Cycle 25, which we are nearing. Activity this year is likely to be extremely high thanks to favorable solar conditions. The upper HF bands, such as 15 and 10 meters, should benefit most from the Cycle's peak. Weekend of June 22 - 23 @ March Field Air Museum |

Please joins us for Winter Field Day. We will be operating from the Frank Zizzo Radio Room this year. The radio room will be open to public viewing during museum hours and club members will be able to operate overnight if they choose to stay.

If someone want to organize an offsite outdoor event, then they can use the AB6MV callsign with permission from the club.
