Field Day is a radio communications event that brings together the nation’s amateur radio operators (also called “hams”) within your community. The theme for 2025 Field Day is “Radio Connects” – highlighting the many ways that wireless technology connects people across distances near and far. The event is part picnic, campout, practice for emergencies, informal contest, and most of all, fun!  Amateur Radio Field Day is the most popular ham radio activity held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend in June each year (June 28-29^th), more than 31,000 hams get together with their radio clubs, schools, or friends to operate from remote locations.

The Fayette County Amateur Radio Club will hold Fayette County’s Field Day at the Brooks Bears Football Field in Brooks GA.  This location is behind the Fayette County Fire Station #6 on Highway 85 Connector, Brooks.  The address for the field is 905 HWY 85 Connector.

The event runs continuously from 2:00 PM on Saturday, June 28^th until 2 PM on Sunday June 29^th.  In addition to the radio transceivers that will be on the air and operating by our club members, there will be a station reserved for those in the community that would like to try out ham radio for themselves with a member of our club as an assist.Please join us for the fun and adventure.  For additional information, please call Jeff / K1ZN at 850-316-1208 or E-mail:  [email protected]; or Mike Nelson, KY4ZW, [email protected].
