Ensor Park and Museum

06/02/2026

Mark your calendars for June 27-28! The Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio Club (SFTARC) will once again be running their ARRL Field Day operations at the Ensor Park & Museum site this year. The public is invited to visit the park during this event to learn more about amateur radio and see the radio operators make contacts in North America and foreign countries.

The operators will begin making contacts at 1pm, Saturday, June 27, and will operate until 1 pm, June 28.

The object of Field Day is to work as many stations as possible on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meter HF bands, as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio.
