On June 27 and 28, the Somerset County Amateur Radio Club (SCARC) invites you to experience the science and skill of Amateur Radio. As part of the largest “on-the-air” event in North America, we will be joining over 45,000 enthusiasts across the U.S. and Canada to demonstrate how radio technology serves our communities.

Field Day is more than just a contest; it’s a vital exercise in emergency preparedness. Our members will be operating from remote setups to practice rapid response capabilities, proving that when all else fails, Amateur Radio works. Whether you are a seasoned “Ham” or just curious about the hobby, come see our equipment in action and learn how we provide a lifeline during disasters.

Why Attend?

• Demonstrations: See cutting-edge radio technology and traditional Morse code in action.
• Emergency Readiness: Learn how radio amateurs provide essential communications when standard networks go down.
• Community: Connect with local operators and discover how to get started in this rewarding hobby.
