The Nation­al Field Day & Emer­gency Pre­pared­ness event in India occurs on June the 7th and 8th and is an excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty to test out field stations. 

It includes a con­test exchange between sta­tions on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metre bands using CW, SSB and Dig­i­tal modes. Organ­is­ers want low pow­er or less than 100 watts to be used. 

What a great idea from the Ama­teur Radio Soci­ety of India for radio ama­teurs to head out­doors, set­up sta­tions, make con­tacts, test their emer­gency response skills, learn about anten­nas and give new­com­ers a real experience.
