If you haven't been involved in Field Day before, and you are located in the US or Canada, you certainly want to give it a try. Contact your local Amateur Radio club and see how you can help them with Field Day. They should be glad to hear from you and will show you how they do Field Day. If there isn't a local club nearby, then ask around on the local repeater. You should get some replies there.
Hams are always willing to help out beginners.
Start planning now. Talk Field Day up on your local repeaters,and at your club meetings. Remember Field Day is always the fourth full weekend in June. Email KJ5ZR Comments, questions or suggestions.
