Ham Radio Operators Day?
http://www.arrl.org/field-day

Have no idea where to put this. Is anyone in the FL a Ham radio operator?
ARRL Field Day is June 26-27, 2010

Objective-
To work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. Field Day is open to all amateurs in the areas covered by the ARRL/RAC Field Organizations and countries within IARU Region 2. DX stations residing in other regions may be contacted for credit, but are not eligible to submit entries.

My honeys uncle helped during the War with his radio. Still have the old thing somewhere.

I referred to your post under Radio.

This is still a pretty big deal after 77 years.

Most of the clubs active this weekend will welcome guests, and it's common to put a guest on the air to say hello to another station. I reckon it's not mind-boggling stuff these days in view of cellular technology, etc., but you might be surprised at what you find.

thank you so much. I appreciate it greatly.

Trying to entertain 10 and 12 year olds is daunting.
