For
those unfamliar with amateur (ham) radio, field day is an
opportunity to test the amateur community's ability to provide
communications in the face of emergency or disaster. Ham
operators are frequently called upon to provide this service.
When the normalcy of landline telephones, cellular telephones, the
internet and electric service are taken away by rising water, wind,
earthquakes or other disasters, ham radio operators are frequently
called upon for assistance. Ham operators routinely do
this by assisting relief organizations,
public service organizations and the general community with radio
communications when normal lines of communications are disrupted.
In
addition, many ham operators are among those who assist the National
Weather Service, as members of Skywarn,
in tracking and
reporting storm activity and damage.
The
WCARC field day
will be held at the Whitley County 4H fairgrounds on
June
26th
and 27th.
The club will setup operations under the pavilion adjacent
to the 4H Center at the top of the hill.
Amateur operators
and the general public alike are welcome to visit and participate in
field day with the Whitley County Amateur Radio Club.
Field Day 2010 has come and gone but
we'll all remember the fun we had and look forward to next year.
There were very few glitches in the setup and operation this
year. Kudos to the newer hams who, with little or no experience
with this type of operation, jumped in and made this year's field day a
great success. A selection of photographs have been added for field day 2010.
In addition to the radio fun (390+ contacts), we had more food and
fellowship than you
could shake a stick at. The coolers were full of hamburgers,
hotdogs, brots and steaks. The tables were full with sides
dishes, deserts, candy and snacks. Ken, KB9VGJ and Justin, KC9DCP
manned the grill serving up the meat to order. Neither members
nor guests walked away hungry. As Ken noted, "The only thing we didn't have was icecream!"
and he was right.
