Kids can Discover Amateur Radio at the Surrey Museum:

Hurricanes, fires, floods, and earthquakes happen, but you can count on
amateur (or ham) radio to provide vital links to agencies and city services
such as fire, police and ambulance. On Tuesday, March 20 from 2-4 p.m.,
join the Surrey Museum and the Surrey Emergency Program Amateur Radio
Society (SEPAR) in an amateur radio emergency communications workshop for
kids. The workshop will focus on how amateur radio provides communities
with emergency communications when commercial systems are not operational.
The workshop will provide kids with a hands-on experience of how amateur
radio systems work and the technology used. (For ages nine and over.
Admission is free. Space is limited so please pre-register by calling
604-592-6956. Held at the Surrey Museum, 17710 56A Ave.). Communications
infrastructure (cellphone, regular phone, or the Internet) is usually one
of the first services to fail in a major emergency due to damage, lack of
electricity and/or overload. Ham radio uses direct radio to radio
communication independent of commercial systems, allowing emergency
messages to get through.SEPAR operates under the direction of the Surrey
Fire Department and would be called out at the request of the Surrey
Emergency Program.
