ARRL Field Day is held the fourth weekend of June annually. Amateur Radio operators and clubs from all over the US and Canada try to make as many radio contacts as they can in a 24 hour period. Many of these contacts are also with other operators from all over the world as well. It is not uncommon for our members to make contacts with stations in Australia, Russia, Europe, aircraft, and even ships passing through the Panama Canal.
