Throughout the day Saturday, kids around the country will have an opportunity to communicate with one another using Ham Radio.

According to Joel Kaye, AD6KH, club president, Field Day is the annual "shakedown run" for the ARRL's National Field Organization. "Field day is a way for hams to get outdoors and have fun under some difficult conditions," Kaye said. "But it's also a chance to fine tune emergency communication skills. We use generators and battery power, and we set up antennas in the field. The idea is to put together a self-sufficient, working station quickly and begin making contacts." The ARRL Field Organization has been effective in establishing emergency communication nets during floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and other major disasters. Field Day offers training for such emergencies as well as providing a contest environment where the objective is to make the highest number of contacts during the 24-hour contest period. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Radio Operators Monitor OC Wheelmen's 'Ride Around the Bear': Posted: 15 Jun 2012 05:44 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/28485 Members of the Orange County Wheelmen bicycle club started and finished their 28th Annual 'Ride Around the Bear' in Redlands. Ham radio volunteers with San Bernardino County helped monitor the Orange County Wheelmen's 100-mile "Ride Around the Bear," which started and finished Saturday at Sylvan Park in Redlands. Jeff Sabatini manned one of 12 comm sites on Highway 38's dogleg curve at the Forest Falls turnoff in Mill Creek Canyon. He had his pickup rigged with a radio tower to increase his signal output and reception in the steep-sided mountain gulch. "Ham radio works when everything else won't," Sabatini said. "This is good practice for emergency situations. Fire, flood, earthquakes." /////////////////////////////////////////// Modern Day Heroes of Tele-Communications Revealed: Posted: 15 Jun 2012 05:44 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/28484 Novato, CA, June 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- HeroBook features the great men behind the evolution of the telephone. They are our modern heroes of today for without their brilliant innovations, the world would be different from what it is at present. If we talk about the history of telephones, Alexander Graham Bell's name would have a ring to it. However, electronic communications didn't begin with the telephone although it is considered as the first speech transmitter. Alexander Bain created the first patented facsimile where the images from a flat metal surface are scanned by a stylus then transmitting it to another fax machine. After his invention, many have created improved versions. Years later when Samuel Morse was able to convince the government to fund his transmitter's wires, the Morse code communication using the telegraph was opened to the masses. It was one of the widely used devices during the time of War. After these three origins of electronic communication devices, various innovations sprouted for the past century. /////////////////////////////////////////// Propagation Forecast Bulletin #24 de K7RA: Posted: 15 Jun 2012 03:11 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/28483 Solar activity was lower this week, although for the past few days sunspot numbers and solar flux were rising.
