Field Day

The Fauquier Amateur Radio Association (FARA) will be participating in the 2025 edition of ARRL Field Day on

Saturday June 28th through Sunday June 29th (24 hours)

Field Day is an exciting opportunity for members of the public to not only see Amateur Radio in action but experience it first hand. FARA will be featuring a Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) station where visitors can operate a radio. Under the guidance of an experienced amateur radio licensee, you will be able to make two-way contacts with other Field Day stations across the U.S. and Canada by voice, morse code, or text transmission.

FARA Field Day also affords members of the community, local government officials, and public safety personnel the opportunity to learn about the recreational, educational, public service and emergency preparedness aspects of amateur radio.

Our Field Day station simulates a disaster response scenario: we will be using temporary antennas erected within minutes (yet capable of global communication), operating from temporary shelters, and running the station entirely on generator power and alternative energy sources.

Members of the Fauquier Amateur Radio Association look forward to meeting you June 28th and 29th.
