Amateur radio, or ham radio, is one of those things where you get it or you
don't. But the American Radio Relay League hopes that a few more people get
it after this weekend's National Field Day, described as "part educational
event, part operating event, part public relations event:and all about
fun!" The event is part of the league's Amateur Radio Week. The idea behind
National Field Day is for ham radio operators to show off and demonstrate
their radios to the public while attempting to see how far their devices
can reach. The event tends to draw emergency department staff, who often
use ham radio as a secondary communication option. John Zabriskie Sr.,
assistant director of the Charlestown, Rhode Island, Emergency Management
Agency, noted that the tests work as a nice refresher for employees.
