ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio� has released the logo and
theme for this year's�ARRL Field Day[1], June 28 - 29, 2025.
The theme for 2025 Field Day is "Radio Connects" - highlighting the many ways
that wireless technology connects people across distances near and far. The
event is part picnic, campout, practice for emergencies, informal contest, and
most of all, fun! ARRL Field Day is the most popular ham radio activity held
annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend in June each year, more
than 31,000 hams get together with their radio clubs, schools, or friends to
operate from remote locations.
Ham radio provides a connection - both for practical communications and to form
relationships with fellow radio amateurs. No matter who you are, or what your
background or interests are, if you have an interest in radio and wireless
technology, radio connects you with others.�
The theme is universal, says ARRL Public Relations and Outreach Manager Sierra
Harrop, W5DX. "Local amateur radio clubs bridge generations. Contacts made
across town or around the world allow cultural exchange, right over the air. In
times of crisis, radio connects those in need with information. The whole point
of amateur radio is the connect, both literally and figuratively," she said.
Amateur radio also inspires the next generation of technical leaders by
providing a hands-on sandbox where students can gain experience in the fields
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).�
Make your plans to connect with radio for ARRL Field Day. Use the Field Day
site locator to find a site near you. Clubs planning to host a site may list
their event information there, as well.
