operators to be in park Members of Mercer County Amateur Radio Club will work around the clock beginning June 28 and finishing June 29 to set up field radio communication stations, get on the air and contact thousands of other operators in the United States and Canada as part of their participation in the American Radio Relay League Field Day. The ARRL Field Organization has been effective in establishing emergency communications networks during floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and other major disasters. Members of formal emergency organizations such as the Amateur Radio Emergency Service and the Radio Amateur Communication Emergency Services regularly participate. The League estimates that more than 35,000 ham radio operators participate in Field Day every year. |
