Field Day, held on the last weekend in June each year, is the ARRL’s annual test of emergency preparedness for radio amateurs. From Saturday morning till Sunday morning, operators set up temporary stations and operate radios in an attempt to contact as many other stations as possible. HAM radio operators and clubs set up stations in remote locations in rehearsal for emergency situations where they would provide communications for local civil and emergency organizations. Using their own equipment, HAM radio operators contact other stations around the country to practice their communication skills.
The Tulare County Amateur Radio Club held it’s event at Tulare’s Zumwalt park, setting up a tent and operating 4 different stations. Running on emergency power, operators used voice and morse code to contact other stations throughout the USA. Computers, networked through a wireless router, keep track of contacts, logging contacted stations for contest score purposes.
