WHO/WHAT: Members of the Falmouth Amateur Radio Association (FARA) will participate in the national amateur radio Field Day exercise, June 28–29 at Morse Pond School in Falmouth, MA. Since 1933, amateur radio operators across North America have established temporary amateur radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the capabilities of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29. On Saturday, June 28, from 2PM through Sunday, June 29, at 2PM.
WHERE: Morse Pond School, 323 Jones Road, Falmouth, MA 02540
WHY: Field Day demonstrates how amateur radio creates a reliable, independent communications network. Amateur radio functions independently from the conventional communications or power infrastructure, and can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. Amateur radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and related scientific disciplines.
