Welcome to the Vero Beach Amateur Radio Club. Our club is very active with over 100 members and have many activities that are very well attended. Please feel free to join us at any of the below activities.

Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

This weekend June 25th and 26th, The Vero Beach Amateur Radio Club will be holding Field Day 2022 at the Indian River Fairgrounds AG Pavilion. The main building and pavilion will be used by the Vero Beach Gun Show. We will be using a separate entrance off of 81st Street just west of 58th Ave. See picture of map. If you try and enter through the main entrance, you will be charged admission for the gun show.

We will begin set up at 8:00am on Saturday

We will begin break down around 2:00pm or 3:00pm on Sunday.

We will be operating around the clock. Please feel free to come and go anytime.

Please come back to help break down on Sunday.

We will not have access to the fairgrounds tables and chairs like in years past.

You may want to bring your own chair.

I will have some tables and chairs for meals.

If you plan on setting up your own station, please bring your own table and chair.

We will have a "FOR SALE" table. If you have any items for sale, you can leave them on the table. Make sure you mark the item with price and contact information.

The club will provide food. We ask for a donation to offset the cost but not mandatory.
