[CVRC] June Ham Radio Events

[John E. Abrott]

2006 is the centennial of voices broadcast over the airwaves and Amateur
Radio operators will be celebrating!  In June is one of the most important
events, the annual Amateur Radio Week and Field Day.


Amateur Radio  Week for 2006 starts with Kids Day on June 17.  This is a day
when clubs around the country try to have as many activities for youth as
possible.   Not only are there youth clubs (membership is made up of youth)
involved, but demonstrations and on-air activities are set up in many
locations inviting youth to come, see and even send messages on the radio
using many different methods -from Morse code to the latest high speed
digital  equipment.

On Tuesday June 20 is  "Take Your HT  to Work Day" in which Amateur Radio
Operators around the country will take  their smaller, handheld radios to
work with them.  By wearing them on a belt or putting them on a desk, they
hope to get inquiries from co-workers  about radio.  Over the lunch hour,
they will encourage their co-workers  to actually talk on the radio under
supervision and also invite them to come  see full stations in operation the
following weekend.

Field Day is June 24-25 and it is the main event in which hams all over the
country set up simulated emergency stations in public areas.  Using only
emergency power (generator, battery, solar or similar options) they make
contact with other stations all over the country and the world using a
multitude of radio modes.

The _”Northern Nevada Amateur Radio Educational Coalition” _ invites you to
explore the fun and capabilities of modern
