What is Field Day?

Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June, more than 40,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups, or just by themselves to operate from remote locations.

It’s not a contest—it’s a demonstration of emergency communications preparedness. We set up stations in the field, run off of battery or generator power, and test our ability to maintain contact when normal infrastructure fails.

Come see how we build antenna arrays, manage solar-powered rigs, and keep the Joplin community connected regardless of the circumstances.
