Our Letter to the Editor
Come to Amateur Field Day on June 28-29, 2014
To the editor
I would like to take this opportunity to formally invite the public to the Amateur Radio (AKA Ham Radio) “Field Day” being held in Wolfeboro by the Lakes Region Repeater Association radio club. Our event will take place this year from 1p, m, on Saturday, June 28th, through 4 p.m. Sunday, June 29th, located “in the field” at 451 Pleasant Valley road in Wolfeboro.
There will be opportunity for anyone to operate a properly supervised “GOTA” (Get On The Air) amateur radio station, as well as view our setup for this event. This is a fun field exercise for Amateur Radio operators to simulate conditions of emergency communications and we invite the pubic to see what we are capable of.
More information about the event and our club is available at the following link: shttps://www.lrra.w1bst.org/home, http://www.arrl.org/field-day. We hope to see you all there!

As a Side Note:
Twice a year, ARRL offers an event designed to promote Amateur Radio to our youth. Share the excitement with your kids or grandkids, a Scout troop, a church or the general public!
Kids Day is designed to give on-the-air experience to young people and hopefully foster interest in getting a license of their own. It is also intended to give older hams a chance to share their station and love for Amateur Radio with their children.
