Activities
A Field of Opportunity
Field Day is an exercise to mimic emergency use. It is a contest to get as many contacts as you can, ideally using battery power or generator. It's a way to keep up on skills in case of an actual emergency. The contest is there to provide something to do. It is also a good reason to just get together and visit among fellow amateur radio operators and their families.
