Amateur Radio Field Day

Saturday June 24th |  11AM-3PM  | Lake Poway Park Picnic Site #4 

Visit with the Poway Amateur Radio Society and the Poway Auxiliary Communications Team as they compete with radio operators 
around the world during the annual Amateur Radio Field Day.
 

The Poway Field Day event is open to the public, with activities for all ages and experience levels. Visitors can explore radio technology, talk to stations around the world, and even operate radios under the supervision of licensed ham radio operators. Kids and adults alike will enjoy seeing how ham radio connects with computers, drones, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, model rocketry, and more. 

A “Get On The Air” (GOTA) tent will be available during public hours, where new or unlicensed individuals can get hands-on experience and guidance from seasoned operators. No license is required to participate, and on-site instruction will be provided.
