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. We also have a “Get on the Air” station for anyone who does not possess a general class or higher license. Lastly, there is a club sponsored potluck picnic for dinner.
If you are interested in helping plan for this event, check the Events Calendar for field event planning meetings. Everyone with an interest is welcome.
