Coolidge, Arizona - Clark Johnson, Amateur Radio Activator (Ham Radio
Operator) using the call sign K7LRK, will be at Casa Grande Ruins National
Monument on Wednesday, February 17, as part of the American Radio Relay

Clark's transmissions and any replies, as well as learn about Amateur

handouts. Additional activators may be available to speak with visitors,
