stations, operating under Laguna's own call sign, "N6L" will be

located on the fire road between Moulton Meadows and

The event is Field Day, the largest on-the-air event in the world.

Except the during World War II, Field Day has been regularly held

since 1933. It is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League.
