Join the Henderson Amateur Radio Club, Inc. for this year’s 2024 ARRL Field Day. Sponsored by the American Radio Relay League, or ARRL for short, Field Day is one-part contest, one-part emergency communications exercise, and one-part open house — and a great time. The theme encourages radio amateurs to take advantage of the peak of Solar Cycle 25, which we are nearing. Activity this year is likely to be extremely high, thanks to favorable solar conditions. The upper HF bands, such as 15 and 10 meters, should benefit most from the Cycle’s peak.
Field Day is open to all licensed ham radio operators, all GMRS radio operators, and all those from the general public interested in learning more about ham radio.
You do not need to have a license to participate! You don’t need to be a member of our organization to participate!

The club will be set up from 10 AM to 9 PM on Saturday, June 22, 2024. At 3 PM on Field Day, Darren WS7R, will be giving a hands on presentation of “Tools of the Trade.” Come learn about VNAs, Frequency Counters and more. At 6 PM, we will have a club dinner and our raffle drawing. Due to site limitations and members’ availability, we will not operate overnight until Sunday morning this year.
