- TECHNICIAN CLASS Students - FIELD TRIP to FIELD DAY -
What is FIELD DAY?
The ARRL - American Radio Relay League has an anual event called "Field Day" on the forth weekend in June. The annual Field Day event is an Open House for the local Amateur Radio community. During the Field Day event, local Amateur (aka Ham) Radio Operators get together to set up emergency "off the grid" radio stations, to make radio communications (aka contacts). They get "On the Air" and operate for a 24 hours non-stop, to reach other Ham radio stations (many set up in emergency setting as well), across the United States, Canada, and around the world. This annual Field Day event is also a way for Hams to reach out to people in their community to provide information and share with others what the wonderful hobby of Amateur Radio is all about.
This year, the Technician Class course coordinators scheduled the Technician Class Course so the ARRL - American Radio Relay Leauge annual Field Day Event falls in the middle of the Technician Class Course. This way, the Technician Class Students will get the opprotunity to go on a Class "Field Trip to Field Day" to visit the local clubs, BARS and FRRL Field Day site locations on Saturday, June 22, 2019.
- The Bolingbrook Amateur Radio Society - BARS, with their Filed Day site location at Meyer Park in Bolingbrook, IL
- The Fox River Radio League - FRRL, with their Field Day site location at LeRoy Oaks Forest Preserve in St. Charles, IL
