ARRL Field Day is a cherished event for many amateur radio operators.  It's an opportunity to gather with friends, test radio equipment, and experience contesting.  It's the annual ARRL Open house, and "it combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio."
