Letter to the Editor - Radio club contacts hundreds on Field Day

Dear Editor,

Saturday, June 25-26, the Hi-Line Amateur Radio Club participated in the national American Radio Relay League Field Day event in Havre at the US Bank Park.

Our club made over 250 radio contracts in 24 hours with other ham radio operators in 29 states, Canada, and Mexico. Through this event, we combined public service, emergency preparedness practice, community outreach, along with demonstrating our technical skills.

We would like to thank Have Daily News for publishing our Field Day news article, New Media Broadcasting for their announcements, City of Havre for the use of the US Bank Park, Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods IGA for food and donations, and the community officials and the public for their attendance.

For anyone interested in becoming an amateur radio operator, there will be a class taught this fall.  Please watch for upcoming announcements.

Brett Moen, activities director

Heather Hinckley, secretary-treasurer

Shelley and Gary Fisher, Field Day committee members.
