Field Day

TruckerLlew · Jun 22, 2007

With Field Day happening this weekend 6/23-6/24, I was wondering if any of our boards trucking hams are participating?

I am currently home and will be participating with the WD5IYF Chisolm Trail Amateur Radio Club in Duncan Ok. We will be set up downtown in Fuqua Park on Saturday and Sunday. If you drive by, give a toot. If you can find a place to park, stop on by and say Hi!

The Field Day Story

For 75 years, Amateur Radio operators across the country have been providing emergency communications when other systems failed or overloaded in a crisis. Each year they take their equipment into unusual locations to test and make sure Ham Radio will always be there to get the message through. This year, is their the 75th anniversary Field Day as thousands of Ham Radio operators will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend.

Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies world-wide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio often called Ham radio - was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer hams traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, ham radio people are often the first to provide critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 23-24, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with these ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the USA will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities.

I'll probably stop by the Henry County Indiana 4-H center to participate with the the Henry Country Amateur Radio Club (HCARC).
