Amateur Radio Demonstration
Saturday, June 28, 2025 -- Sunday, June 29, 2025, 1400 - 1400
The Fauquier Amateur Radio Association (FARA) will participate in the 2025 edition of ARRL Field Day the weekend of June 28-29 in Amissville, VA.
Radio Field Day is an exciting opportunity for members of the public to not only see Amateur Radio in action, but experience it first hand. FARA will be featuring a Get-On-The-Air (GOTA) station where visitors can operate a radio. Under the guidance of an experienced amateur radio licensee, you will be able to make two-way contacts with other Field Day stations across North America by voice, morse code, or text transmission.
FARA Field Day also affords members of the community, local government officials, and public safety personnel the opportunity to learn about the recreational, educational, public service and emergency preparedness aspects of amateur radio.
Our Field Day station simulates a disaster response scenario with the use of temporary antennas erected within minutes (yet capable of global communication), operating from temporary shelters, and running the station entirely on generator power and alternative energy sources.
Members of the Fauquier Amateur Radio Association look forward to meeting you.
Visitors wishing to operate the GOTA station or observe primary station activity are welcome during the following times:
- Saturday June 28th: 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- Sunday June 29th: 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Directions: From Warrenton take US 211 West just under 11miles (just over 4 miles from the traffic light at Rixeyville Rd,) Turn Left on Viewtown Rd (642.) After about 1000ft Take a left on the driveway between the Baptist Church and the Amissville post office, and proceed straight veering to the left to the designated parking area.
