The Wood County Amateur Radio Club will participate in Field Day on the Wood County Museum grounds June 25 and 26. This is an annual event sponsored by the American Radio Relay League.
There will be several shortwave radio stations set up with temporary antennas and powered by portable generators or batteries in the Boom Town Oil Exhibit area of the museum grounds.
Antenna set up begins at noon on Saturday. At 2 p.m., the transmitters start operating for 24 hours until 2 p.m., Sunday with the goal to contact as many other stations as possible in 24 hours.
Anyone interested in learning about amateur (ham) radio is welcome to come out and join at any time.
