ARRL Field Day 2026
ARRL Field Day is the most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US
and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June, more than 31,000 radio amateurs
gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from
remote locations.
Goal, To work as many stations as possible on the
160-, 80-, 40-, 20-, 15- and 10-Meter HF bands,
as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate
in abnormal situations in less-than-optimal conditions.
A premium is placed on developing skills
to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint
the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio
Field Day 2026 will be held June 27-28.
Field Day is ALWAYS the fourth full weekend of June.
