ABOUT THE EVENT
Field Day is part contest, part picnic, part campout, and 100% fun. It’s our annual chance to practice emergency communications under simulated field conditions while making contacts on HF, VHF, and more!
We’ll be operating portable with multiple stations, testing equipment, welcoming visitors, eating great food(carry-in dinner), and enjoying good company. New hams and the public are always encouraged to stop by and see ham radio in action.
On-site testing will be available for those wishing to upgrade their license or obtain a new one!
Full details on operating schedule, and volunteer opportunities will be posted shortly. In the meantime, start charging those batteries and dusting off the gear!
Have any questions? Reach out to Jason at President@wcarc.org
Let’s make Field Day 2026 our best one yet! 73, The WCARC Team
