The special event station will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3, at Abingdon Park.

The public is welcome to meet and talk to the ham operators as they set up antennae and radios, and then get on the air. Using only emergency power supplies, they will communicate with other ham radio operators throughout the U.S. and abroad who want to know more about Gloucester's early history. A postcard, called a QSL card, commemorating this event is sent to each contact. /////////////////////////////////////////// Amateur Radio Celebrated at HamJam 2016: Posted: 17 Nov 2016 04:14 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38023 ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- HamJam 2016, the promotional event of amateur radio, is set to take place on Nov. 19 at The Metropolitan Club.

Ruth will discuss her journey into Amateur Radio, what attracted her to it and what she has learned from it so far. Paul Newbury contacted 73 counties from his mobile station in the 2016 Georgia QSO Party. He will discuss how he did that. Paul has visited over 100 countries and operated amateur radio from many of them. He has made amateur radio contacts with 383 different countries and every county in the United States. Paul is the current president of the Georgia Contest Group. Jay Slough was a member of the VP8STI/VP8SGI amateur radio expedition to South Thule Island and South Georgia Island in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, and his talk will be about his adventures on this trip.
