Field Day 2026 – Drop In and See Amateur Radio in Action!
For one weekend each year, amateur radio operators across North America head outdoors, set up temporary radio stations, and see how many contacts they can make using portable equipment and emergency-style setups.
We’re inviting the community to drop in anytime and see what we’re doing.
This is a relaxed, family-friendly event where you can:
See portable radio stations in action
Watch operators make contacts across Canada and beyond
Learn how radio communication works without relying on cell towers or the internet
Ask questions and try some hands-on activities
Meet local amateur radio operators and community organizations
Field Day is also an important emergency communications exercise.
Amateur radio operators regularly assist with communications during storms, power outages, and other situations where normal systems may be unavailable. Field Day gives us a chance to practice setting up and operating in temporary locations so we’re better prepared if those skills are ever needed.
This year, several community and emergency-service groups will also be on site, making it a great opportunity to learn how different organizations work together during community events and emergencies.
