ARRL America250 Amateur Radio Field Day
The Vaca Valley Radio Club, based in Vacaville, California is pleased to invite the public to join our Amateur Radio Field Day in 2026. This special yearly event is made even more special by the 250th anniversary of the United States.
We welcome all members of the public to join us at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo, CA on June 27th and 28th. Learn how amateur radio connects the world without wires and without the internet. Learn how antennas work, how we use the atmosphere to reflect radio signals and use the earth itself to make them go even further. You might even get to talk directly to a satellite!
Amateur radio has been part of the American story since the earliest days of wireless communication,” said ARRL President Rick Roderick, KUR. “For more than a century, the Amateur Radio Service has advanced the nation’s communications capabilities by fostering technical innova-tion, developing a pool of trained and skilled operators, strengthening emergency and public service communications, and promoting international goodwill. These enduring contributions reflect why amateur radio continues to serve the public interest as a uniquely resilient and volunteer-driven national resource.
