WARRIORS’ SPRING SPORTS SCHEDULE

Rotary Club of the Abingtons Parfait and Yogurt Day

First Posted: 6/17/2014 Amateur radio operators, often called &#8220;hams&#8221; provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA, PEMA and even for the International Space Station. Northeastern Pennsylvania &#8220;hams&#8221; will join with thousands of other operators showing their emergency capabilities Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29,when the public will have a chance to meet and talk with NEPA&#8217;s ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about.
This annual event, called &#8220;Field Day&#8221; is the climax of the week long &#8220;Amateur Radio Week&#8221; sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year&#8217;s event. The Scranton-Pocono Amateur Radio Club will demonstrate Amateur Radio at Seaman&#8217;s Airport on Seamans Road and Windsock Drive in Factoryville June 28 from 2 p.m., to Sunday, June 29 at 2 p.m. They invite the public to come and see ham radio&#8217;s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license.
For more information or directions, call 570-840-0703.
