HAM operators celebrate local field day
The Grant County Ama-
teur Radio Club (GCARC)
will be joining with the
Blackford County Amateur
Radio Club (BARC) to work
Field Day 2017 from 2pm on
June 24th until 2pm on June
25th at the soccer complex
by Blackford High School.
The public is welcome to
visit and watch amateur ra-
dio operators, often referred
to as “Hams,” attempt to
make connections with other
stations around the country
and world using temporary
antennas and emergency
generators. Ham radio opera-
tors are commonly called up
to assist with storm spotting,
weather reporting, and emer-
gency communications.
The ARRL Field Day is
ham radio's open house. Ev-
ery June, more than 35,000
hams throughout North
America set up temporary
transmitting stations in pub-
lic places to demonstrate
ham radio's science, skill,
and service to our com-
munities and our nation. It
combines public service,
emergency
preparedness,
community outreach, and
technical skills all in a single
event. Field Day has been an
annual event since 1933, and
remains the most popular
event in ham radio.
For more information, in-
cluding how to get involved
in amateur radio, contact a
member from either of the
clubs, visit the ARRL web
site, or email Dr. Jeff Marsee,
Blackford Club Secretary –
