Red Cross very much appreciates the fact that field day is an emergency exercise. An exercise that allows FCC licensed Radio Operators to experience how to work in abnormal situations and less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness.
Red Cross encouragement of participation in Field Day by regions and chapters is included in the MOU between the ARRL and Red Cross.
