Amateur Radio Field Day

June 27 – 28

Ham radio operators from the Geauga County area will be participating in a national amateur radio exercise from 2 p.m. on Saturday until 2 p.m. on Sunday. The event is ARRL Field Day, an annual amateur radio activity organized since 1933 by ARRL, the national association for amateur radio in the United States.

Due to the pandemic, hams from Geauga County will use the radio stations set up in their homes or taken to their backyards and other locations to operate individually.
