Showing Off—Ham Radio Meets the Public Eye

摘要

Summer is here, and that means Field Day (FD)! Every fourth weekend in June, amateur radio operators all over the U.S. and Canada participate in one of North America's largest operating events, called Field Day. Organized by ham radio's national membership organization, the American Radio Relay League, FD is an on-the-air event designed to encourage ham radio operators to practice their emergency communications skills and to increase public awareness about ham radio's public-service capability. It is also a great time to show your neighbors, friends, and family members what ham radio is all about.
