Ham radio operators from the Stanly County Amateur Radio Club (K4OGB) participated in the 2022 Field Day sponsored by the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) national amateur radio exercise on June 25.
The event has been an annual amateur radio activity organized since 1933 by ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio in the United States.
Portable antennas were erected for the event at the picnic shelter on the summit of Morrow Mountain.
Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, bring people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities. Field Day highlights ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network.
This public service is easily extended during non-emergency civic events, such as parades, 5K Runs, marathons, and street festivals.
