American Radio Relay League's "Field Day"

American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Field Day:  This Amateur Radio Emergency Communications exercise has been held on the grounds of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum for the past several years on the fourth full-weekend of June.

For the event, the Ventura County Amateur Radio Society (VCARS) will be joined by the Simi Settlers Amateur Radio Club (SSARC) and other local Amateur Radio operators ("Hams"), all operating under the Special Events call-sign of  ”N6R" (honoring former President and Mrs. Reagan).  The annual 24-hour Field Day exercise (starting at 11 AM on Saturday, June 25th), promotes public awareness and provides training experience for local Amateur Radio operators.  By its conclusion (at 11 AM on Sunday, June 26th), event participants at the Library will have established Amateur Radio Communications with thousands of other clubs, groups, and individuals throughout North America and adjoining countries, most of whom were also operating under simulated emergency conditions.

In light of COVID-19 related challenges, event participants will all be fully vaccinated, and will be following CDC, state, and local Health Care guidelines to protect the participants, their families, and all those who choose to come to the beautiful grounds of the Reagan Presidential Library.
