SNIPPET: “This annual event, called “Field Day,” is the climax of the week long “Amateur Radio Week’ sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for amateur radio. Using only emergency power supplies, batteries, generators and solar power, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and back yards around the country.”
