What is Field Day Weekend?
Field Day Weekend is ALL these things!
While the local teams are normally based out their local Emergency Operations Centers, Field Day Weekend is conducted at an alternate site using temporary antennas and mobile equipment powered by solar cells and/or emergency generators.
This year’s local event will be set up next to the Charlestown Summer Office in Ninigret Park (#29 Park Lane) using the garage as a base of operations.
The public will have a chance to meet with these local ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about.
