kd3y ARRL Field Day 2022

ARRL Field Day ARRL Field Day is the most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. Carteret County Amateur Radio Society held their 2022 Filed Day at the town park in Newport, NC. The Carteret County Amateur Radio Society Field Day 2022 began with breakfast at Cox Family Restaurant in Morehead City and moved to the Town Park in Newport by 11am. Carteret County Amateur Radio Society members set up the clubs emergency communications trailer as well as their personal ham radio gear. Interesting set-ups included solar powered ham rigs, several Morse operators, HF radio operations, Winlink operations, 2 meter and 70 cm operations, DMR operations, and several field expedient antennas. Events throughout the day included making contacts with people in other areas of North Carolina, in other states, and even other countries. Notable logged contacts during the day included King Juan Carlos of Spain (EA0JC) and a U.S. Navy submarine in the Atlantic.

Lunch was hot dogs and cheeseburgers, chips, banana pudding, watermelon, and various other finger foods. We had many visitors and families who came out to learn more about amateur radio, and we earned four new club members during the day.
