 ARRL FIELD DAY  2007

Since its modest beginnings in 1933, ARRL Field Day has grown into a premier
operating event

for thousands of radio amateurs. The activity places a premium on developing
skills to meet the

challenges of emergency preparedness as well acquainting the general public
with the

capabilities of Amateur Radio. For many radio clubs, Field Day stations are
operated in less than

optimal conditions--setup in camp-like fashion. Others operate free of
commercial power, using

only generators, solar energy or other alternate power sources. Entry
categories also encourage

participation from individual hams operating from their home stations. It's
fun for everyone!


Fayette County ARES  invites you to explore the fun and capabilities of
modern Amateur Radio by meeting us at the Kentucky Horse Park for Field Day
2007. We will be camping out the entire weekend !

 

Date and Time: Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June,
beginning at 1800 UTC Saturday and ending at 2100 UTC Sunday. Field Day 2007
will be held June 23-24, 2007. 
 
Object: To work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands
(excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and in doing so to learn to
operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is
placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness
as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur
Radio. 
 
Eligibility: Field Day is open to all amateurs in the areas covered by the
ARRL/RAC Field Organizations and countries within IARU Region 2. DX stations
residing in other regions may be contacted for credit, but are not eligible
to submit entries.
