Field Day is ham radio's
open house. Every June,
more than 40,000 hams
throughout North America
set up temporary transmitting
stations in public places to
demonstrate ham radio's sci
ence, skill and service to our
communities and our nation.
It combines public service,
emergency preparedness,
community outreach, and
technical skills all in a single
event. Field Day has been an
annual event since 1933, and
remains the most popular
event in ham radio.
This year, the Jasper
Radio Club is hosting their
Field Day on Saturday,
June 26 from 2-10 p.m. at
Cornerstone Church, lo
cated at 145 Cornerstone
Drive in Jasper. Please enter
the first building on the prop
erty, with the "Amateur
Radio Emergency Services"
sign near the door. Local
hams, wannabe hams, and
the curious are welcome to
visit, observe, ask questions
and actually get on the air! A
special radio station will be
setup just for newbies, with a
licensed radio operator avail
able to guide you through the
process. Additionally, club
members will be making
contact with other clubs all
around the nation, as far as
New York and Hawaii. One
fun goal is to attempt to make
contact with someone in all
50 states. Other activities will
include mounting antennas
and "shooting" objects
through a loop, using an an
tenna launcher (also known
as a potato cannon).
Northwest Georgia is one
of the most active regions in
the entire southeast, and the
Jasper Radio Club is a big
part of that, with activities
ranging from emergency
communications, a weekly
social lunch bunch, monthly
meetings, simulated emer
gencies, contests, repeater
maintenance, and weekly
"nets" on the air. While a
written test is required to join
in the fun the other 364 days
of the year, many young peo
ple (even as young as 9) are
full, active members of this
worldwide community. There
are three levels of amateur
radio licenses, each requiring
a more strenuous test, but re
warded with additional priv
ileges. In fact, a testing
session will be hosted by the
club earlier that day, starting
at 1 p.m. in the church.
Come discover the fun,
joy and wonder of the ama
teur radio world. Get to know
Attention Veterans!
