Join us June 27–28 at Heald Street Orchard in Pepperell MA for ARRL Field Day, amateur radio’s biggest annual event, a nationwide, off-the-grid communications exercise that brings together thousands of hams across the U.S. for 24 hours of radio, resilience, community, and FUN.
First held in 1933, Field Day is part emergency drill, part outdoor adventure, and part contest, testing our ability to deploy radios and antennas anywhere, anytime, using backup power when traditional systems go down.
Radio signals travel across the country and around the world, even when the internet and cell towers can’t.
This year, we’ll be operating from the high ground at Heald Street Orchard in Pepperell, MA, transforming an open meadow into a temporary, self-sufficient communications hub.
Whether you're here to operate, learn, or just check out what ham radio is all about, you’ll find hands-on STEM demos, a GOTA tent for unlicensed visitors.
Stations you'll find on-site:
1 Phone (voice) station
1 CW / Digital (Morse code and Digital Communications) station
1 VHF / UHF / Satellite station
1 GOTA station (Get On The Air – for guests and newcomers, no license required!)
STEM & Educational Activities
Throughout the weekend we’ll be offering hands-on demonstrations and informal talks on:
Radio frequency (RF) science – how we create and transmit signals
Signal propagation – how signals travel across terrain and around the world
Antenna design – the physics and strategy behind getting on the air
Digital modes & software – decoding, sending, and logging radio traffic
Emergency preparedness – how amateur radio keeps working when the grid goes down
Whether you’re into amateur radio, electronics, emergency planning, software, or just good old-fashioned tinkering, there’s something to learn (and try out!) at Field Day. 
YOU are invited!  Feel free to bring family members and friends!
