OGEMAW COUNTY- Ham radio operators from the Ogemaw Arenac Amateur Radio Society participated in a national amateur radio exercise from 2 – 6 p.m. on Sat., June 22 at the Ogemaw Nature Park.
Hams from across North America ordinarily participate in Field Day by establishing temporary ham radio stations in public locations to demonstrate their skill and service. Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, bring people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities. Field Day highlights ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network.
Operators had a great time explaining the radio and operations to visitors and new “hams” in the area.
