SUMMARY:American Radio Relay League 2025 Field Day
DESCRIPTION:American Radio Relay League Field Day is a radio communications event that brings together 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! ARRL Field Day is the most popular ham radio activity held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend in June each year\, more than 31\,000 hams get together with their radio clubs\, schools\, or friends to operate from remote locations. \nThe Westford Police Amateur Radio Team will be participating\, and the public is welcome to join. During the event\, they will be communicating with other amateur radio operators from across North America and around the world\, and showcasing 7 different live amateur radio stations each using a different amateur radio communication technique.  Most of all\, one of the stations will permit you to get on the air. \nWB1GOF is an amateur radio club out of Westford with members in many of the surrounding towns (including Acton) and beyond. We are interested in supporting all people interested in amateur radio.
