Local amateur radio operators will be in Davey Dogwood Park for the 2016
Winter Field Day. Also known as ham operators, they use equipment to engage
in personal communications with other operators around the country. Radio
operators are granted an amateur radio license by a governmental-regulatory
authority after passing a test on regulations, electronics and radio theory
and operation. The dedicated group believes emergency communications in a
winter environment is just as important as the preparations and practice
that are done each summer, but with some additional unique operational
concerns, according to the Winter Field Day website. The event is a
precursor to the worldwide Field Day held in late June each year. The event
provides education, operation and public-relation information to ham
operators.
