HAM RADIO OPERATORS PREP FOR DISASTER DURING FIELD DAY 2026.
Amateur radio operators, or better known as Ham Radio operators, will take their batteries, generators, solar panels and wire antennas and head out into the field for ARRL Field Day, June 27th and 28th 2026.
The event is ARRL Field Day (www.arrl.org/FieldDay), an annual amateur radio activity organized since 1933 by ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio in the United States. Hams from across North America ordinarily participate in Field Day by establishing temporary ham radio stations in public locations to demonstrate their skill and service. Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, bring people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities.
Field Day highlights ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any
conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network.
It’s not all about work as the hams compete for contacts in a variety of formats, and against other ham clubs their size all across the United States. It’s just a lot of fun and fellowship for everyone.

The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national association for amateur radio, connecting hams around the U.S. with news, information and resources.
