Ham Radio Field Day

Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 31,000 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. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

The local Desert Rats Ham Radio Club will have exhibits and demonstrations set up at the library including voice and digital modes, communicating with satellites, emergency communications, and much more. The Cathedral City Fire Department and the Coachella Valley Disaster Preparedness Network will also be joining us.
