Join us for FIELD DAY on June 22, 2013

This year the Desert RATS club will be at the La Quinta EOC (Emergency Operations Center) located at 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253.

ARRL Field Day is the single most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June of each year, more than 35,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations. The object of Field Days is to contact as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions.
