Field Day is an annual event in which amateur radio clubs all over the country participate. Snohomish County Hams Club practices emergency preparedness by setting up amateur radio stations at a local park and powering them with batteries. There is also a contest in which hams can earn points by making contacts with other hams. COVID-19 impacted this contest in such a way that we could not go to a location and setup equipment. At this point the ability to operate from the field will depend on the restrictions in place just before the field day date. Even if it is not possible to gather at one location, there may be opportunities to operate from home and still accumulate a score for the club. Stay tuned.
Contact the Field Day coordinator if you are interested in participating in this club event. A list of coordinators can be found here.
