ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held
annually in the US and Canada. Each year over 35,000 amateurs
gather with their clubs, friends or simply by themselves to operate.
ARRL Field Day is not a fully adjudicated contest, which explains
much of its popularity. It is a time where many aspects of
Amateur Radio come together to highlight our many roles. While some
will treat it as a contest, most groups use the opportunity to
practice their emergency response capabilities. It is an
excellent opportunity to demonstrate Amateur Radio to local elected
community leaders, key individuals with the organizations that
Amateur Radio might serve in an emergency, as well as the general
public. For many clubs, ARRL Field Day is one of the highlights of
their annual calendar. |

What is the GRARA Yahoo Group, you ask? It's a bulletin board specifically made to keep members and
friends up to date on club activities, treasures for sale, questions and comments
on a daily basis. You can keep track of
"what's happening" in any of three ways.
The first way is to go to the yahoo site by clicking the link above. If you join the free group,
you will also be able to select getting an email every time someone posts a message, once a day in a digest
or only if a moderator sends out a special message. (Most members get a single daily digest,
some choose not get any email at all.) You can also return to the site and
search for whatever "tickles your fancy."
How do you join our Yahoo Group so that you can
post messages and receive email? Find the answer under the FAQ menu above.
This is a moderated group. Moderators reserve the right
to remove "unfriendly postings" especially spam.
