Field Day is a ham radio institution. It actually is an emergency readiness drill. Hams set up portable stations usually in fields or public parks with emergency power. We make contacts with other stations under emergency conditions.
Over the years, it has grown into more. Today, it's also a time for friends and making new ones. A time to picnic and enjoy the great outdoors. A time for teamwork and a time to forget the daily grind. But most importantly, it's a time for fun!
There's more than one way to erect a wire antenna. In this case we're installing a 20meter full wave loop.
