Washington Sportsmen's Association

Field Day is an annual demonstration of how ham

radio can respond to a catastrophic emergency. We

set up antennas and stations in public areas to show

our ability to communicate with thousands of other

similar stations around the country. Scouts watch as

Loren makes contacts with other stateside stations

participating in this competitive Field Day event.

Scouts building an actual antenna

which will be used moments later.

Bud explains to scouts how

the magic of radio works.

Come visit from noon Saturday until noon

Sunday June 24 as we operate continuously, under

emergency simulation, for 24 hours. Our multiple stations

will be locate at the Sportsman’s Club ‘above’ the

Fairgrounds. Entire Scout groups are encouraged to visit.

launched in 1974 is still

operational, and built by

a bunch of ‘amateurs’.
