ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. Each year over 35,000 amateurs gather with their clubs, friends or simply by themselves to operate.
ARRL Field Day is not a fully adjudicated contest, which
explains
much of its popularity. It is a time where many aspects of
Amateur Radio come together to highlight our many roles.
While some will treat it as a contest, most groups use the opportunity
to practice their emergency response capabilities.
It is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to
local elected community leaders, key individuals with the organizations
that
Amateur Radio might serve in an emergency, as well as the general
public.
For many clubs, ARRL Field Day is one of the highlights of their
annual calendar.
Robertson County ARC is currently
planning to hold Field Day activities at the Louise Martin Park in
Greenbrier, TN near the intersection of Old Greenbrier Pike and
Industrial Drive.
Stay tuned to this page for more information as planning gets underway.

Field Day site
A little closer look at the site.
Plenty of trees for antennas, open space if we need it and a nice
pavillion with picnic tables
