Rochester Amateur Radio Club Field Day operations 2018
Field Day is ham radio’s open house! Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Members of the public are welcome to come and learn about Ham Radio with voice, digital, morse/cw, and mobile stations being operated, and even try it out as guest radio operators under expert guidance at our “Get On The Air” station during this free event!
Setup for Field Day will begin on Friday Afternoon, with operations starting at Noon on Saturday, through Noon on Sunday.
The location this year will be at the Schaeffer Academy (near Fire Station #2, east of Century High School), at 2700 Schaeffer Ln NE, Rochester, MN 55906
