The American Radio Relay League's Field Day is amateur radio's biggest event of the year, bringing together thousands of operators, clubs, and visitors across North America and around the world for a weekend of on-air activity, public outreach, emergency preparedness, and hands-on radio fun.

For WVARA, Field Day is our flagship event, a chance for members to get on the air, try different operating modes and bands, sharpen their skills, and share amateur radio with the community at large. Whether someone is an experienced ham, newly licensed, or simply curious about radio, WVARA Field Day offers a welcoming opportunity to see what amateur radio is all about.

The ASVARO Electronics Flea Market is a Silicon Valley amateur radio tradition dating back to the 1970s. Held on second Saturdays from March through September at West Valley College in Saratoga, the market brings together hams, electronics hobbyists, makers, collectors, and bargain hunters for a morning of radios, parts, tools, test equipment, components, and conversation.

West Valley Amateur Radio Association participates as one of the nonprofit amateur radio organizations supported by the event, helping continue a long-running community gathering that benefits radio education, emergency communications, and civic service.
