	We report on the operation of a field-emission diamond cathode in a L-band RF-gun (1.3 GHz) at Fermilab's HBESL facility. The diamond cathode consists of an array of a million sub-micrometric pyramidal diamond tips. Beam currents in excess of 10 mA were observed and the cathode did not show appreciable signs of degradation after days of operation. Measured Fowler-Nordheim characteristics and transverse beam densities are also reported.
