Calling to say hello on Field Day
SANDPOINT — The Bonner County Amateur Radio Club and Bonner County Amateur Radio Emergency Service will be hosting ARRL Amateur Radio Field Day 2024 the fourth full weekend in June.
Ham radio is a popular hobby and is used around the world to assist with emergencies and non-emergencies. Radios are used to coordinate and run events such as concerts, bike races, marathons and parades.
Completely free and open to the public, Field Day is the single-most popular amateur radio operating event of the year in the U.S. and Canada, said Bonner County ARES emergency coordinator Mark Earls. Around 35,000 radio amateurs, as well as their friends and family, head out into the field to make as many contacts as they can in a 24-hour period.
