The purpose of Field Day is for ham radio operators to test their equipment under emergency conditions to be prepared to help in the event of a national disaster. The hams make as many contacts as possible in a 24 hour period using only emergency power like generators. Usually they go to a public park or shelter and put up temporary stations and antennas. Our construction site qualified because we don't have permanent power yet. He was happy to be able to contact some of his friends in Ohio.
