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.
Snohomish County Hams Club will set up operations for Field Day 2020 in a location to be determined. The contest starts at 11:00 A.M. PDT on Saturday June 27th and ends 11:00 A.M. Sunday. Setup will start Friday afternoon.
