On June 22 and 23^rd the Somerset County Amateur Radio Club will be participating in the 2024 ARRL Field Day operations featuring demonstrations of the science, skills, and service that is amateur radio.  Amateur radio operators across North America will participate in field day events to activate equipment and technologies they use daily. 

The ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada.  On the fourth weekend of June of each year, more than 45,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups, or simply with friends to operate from remote locations.  It is a time when Amateur Radio operators use this opportunity to practice their emergency response capabilities and it is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to the public and organizations they might serve in an emergency.
