Ham radio field day set for June 28-29

For 75 years, amateur radio operators across the country have been providing emergency communications when other systems failed or overloaded in a crisis.

During Hurricane Katrina, amateur radio - often called "ham radio" - was often the only way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer "hams" traveled south to save lives and property. When trouble is brewing, ham radio people are often the first to provide critical information and communications.

Each year, ham radio enthusiasts take their equipment into unusual locations to test and make sure their systems are ready to get the message through.
