The Public Is Welcome To Visit Us
Stop by and see what amateur radio emergency communications is all about
Setup begins about 9am and official operations begin at 1pm on Saturday. Field Day officially lasts for 24 hours and will be complete at 1pm on Sunday.
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.

County ARC's Field Day site will be located in a new location this year.
We will
be located in the empty field just South of Aspen Dental and across the
street from the Southern driveway to the Lowe's parking lot on Tom
Austin Highway in Springfield, TN. The actual street address is
3495 Tom Austin Hwy.
Note:
Aspen Dental is closed on Saturday and Sunday so their parking lot
should be available.
** See
the two aerial photos below for details. **
You can
click on any of the two photos to take you to Google maps for
directions to the Field Day site from wherever you are located. Just
enter your address (or other location) in the
top box and then pick your route.

Hope you can join us for some
fun. Even if you are not an amateur (ham) operator, you still might
have a chance to talk on the radio if you would like to try it.
