Amateur Radio sets Field Day

On Saturday and Sunday, the Ascension Amateur Radio Club will be participating in the national amateur radio Field Day exercise at Cabelas in Gonzales.

Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. The event is from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 8 a.m. to noon Sunday.

For more information about Field Day or amateur radio, contact aarc@k5arc.com or visit http://www.arrl.org/what-is-ham-radio.
