There used to be and probably still is a Field Day locater on the 
ARRL website.  The nearest would probably be offered by your local 
amateur radio club.  You would probably need to contact them to find 
out if they need operators, loggers, help with setup, etc.  They can 
tell you what you might need to bring if you want to join in.
