Field Day will be held the weekend of June 27th and 28th.

Field Day is ham radio’s open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

We’re asking everyone to bring a snack, side or dessert for the picnic lunch & dinner on Saturday, which is also the Annual CFMC Club Picnic. The club provides the main courses, soft drinks, coffee and water for the weekend. BYOB.

Field Day Radio Ops start at 1:00 Saturday afternoon, and end at noon Sunday. It doesn’t matter what class of license you have. You’ll have the opportunity to operate on all bands, all frequencies and all modes under the club callsign.

Saturday from 11:00 AM till 3:00 PM we will do VE testing for all license classes. Click here to register in advance.
