Amateur radio field day is June 27, 28

Amateur radio field day will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 27 and 28, at Pleasant Valley Nature Park in the Town of Grafton.

Members of the Ozaukee Radio Club and Ozaukee Amateur Radio Emergency Services groups will set up a cluster of stations at the park to demonstrate emergency communications.

They will start setting up at 8 a.m. Saturday, begin operations at 1 p.m. and run for 24 hours.

The public can stop by throughout the event to see how HAM radio works and its usefulness in community support.

The Radio Club has been conducting HAM radio presentations at area libraries in support of the field day.

The field day is a national emergency preparedness event involving thousands of radio operators throughout the United States.

Pleasant Valley Nature Park is just off Pleasant Valley Road east of Highway I about two miles north of Cedarburg.
