Fulton Amateur Radio Club (F.A.R.C.) operators, with the support of the Oswego County Emergency Communicators/R.A.C.E.S. (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) and Oswego County Emergency Management Office, will take part in the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) Annual National Field Day event June 25-26, 2022 at Fort Ontario in Oswego.

This Field Day event runs for 24 straight hours, F.A.R.C. and R.A.C.E.S operator's will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday June 25 and finish at 1 p.m. on June 26. Amateur Radio operators better known as “hams"， because in the early 1900's, the operators enjoy talking to others across the air waves about anything and everything.

Hams from across North America ordinarily participate in Field Day by establishing temporary ham radio stations in public locations to demonstrate their emergency skills and service.

Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, brings people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities. Field Day highlights ham radio's ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network. Many hams have portable radio communication capability that includes alternative energy sources such as generators, solar panels, and batteries to power their equipment.
