Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June, beginning at 1800 UTC (2:00 P.M.) Saturday and running through 2059 UTC (4:59 P.M.) Sunday. Field Day 2024 is June 22-23.
We are looking for volunteers to help with Field Day, June 22, 9:00 A.M. We will meet at Floyd Bennett Field to start setting up antennas and communications equipment. Please Fill out the Field Day form so we know what and whom to expect on Field Day.
We also need operators. If you would like to operate, please send us an email with the time you would like to sit in the Captain’s Chair. You can bring your own keyers, headphones, and a radio if you want.
This is a great opportunity for your kids, introducing them to the world of Amateur Radio by letting them contact other Hams worldwide. They do not have to be licensed as long as a Licensed Operator for the Band they are on is Present.
