For those with an interest in ham radio or just want to find out a little more information out ham radio, this is your weekend. This weekend June 23/24 is the annual field day where ham radio operators around the US setup portable stations and operate radios. This provides a drill for emergency communications, often with portable and makeshift antennas as well as a public relations opportunity. Field day is also a contest where stations try to work other field day stations. Everyone is invited to participate. Dont have an license no problem most locations will allow you to get on the air (with supervision). To find a site near you check out the field day finder at http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator
