LICW Field Day Training - Free
David Potter
The Long Island CW Club is offering free Field Day CW training during the month of June, and for the first time this training is open to all amateur radio operators, not just LICW members.
ARRL Field Day 2026 takes place June 27–28. The Field Day operating period begins at 1800 UTC Saturday and runs through 2059 UTC Sunday. This year’s theme is “Amateur Radio: A National Resource.”
LICW will conduct nine Field Day CW training classes each week. These live Zoom sessions will focus on the practical skills needed for Field Day CW operation, including the Field Day exchange, operating rhythm, listening, sending, common abbreviations, recovery, and confidence-building.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is curious about CW, returning to CW after time away, preparing for a first Field Day CW contact, or simply interested in understanding how CW works during Field Day.
There is no charge to attend.
Schedule and Zoom access information is available on the LICW website:
