For 24 straight hours on Saturday and Sunday, local ham radio operators are putting their skills on display by communicating with others across the nation under basic emergency type conditions.
This Field Day, held every year, culminates this year’s Amateur Radio Week in Tennessee, June 21-27, 2009, as recently proclaimed by Gov. Phil Bredesen.
“It means a lot, especially it being officially recognized,” said John Freed, vice president of the Clarksville Amateur Transmitting Society, the radio club that has been serving Montgomery County for over 50 years.
