MARC Field Day 2025 will be Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th at the Saddle & Bridle pavilion in the Maury County Park at 1018 Maury County Park Dr, Columbia, TN. Field Day is an annual ARRL event that gives amateur (or “ham”) radio operators a chance to fine-tune their emergency communication skills. Generators or solar panels and batteries are used to power transmitters and portable antennas are set up in the field to put together self-sufficient, working stations quickly. Hams and non-hams alike can get on the air, operating any of the bands and frequencies allowed during Field Day operations. Contacts will be made with thousands of other operators, making it the nation’s largest ham radio on-air event.
Operations will begin at 1:00 pm on Saturday afternoon and will continue until 1 PM Sunday afternoon. This is a great chance to bring family and friends out for a fun filled weekend and to see what amateur radio all is about. Everyone is invited, so come and join in the fun! We are looking forward to seeing you there!
