Amateur Radio Field Day

The North Richland Hills Office of Emergency Management invites you to the NRH Amateur Radio Club’s annual Field Day exercise on June 25 and 26. Activities will be held at NRH Fire Station No. 5, located at 7202 Dick Fisher Dr., starting at Noon on Saturday and continuing through Noon on Sunday. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Amateur Radio, which is sometimes called “ham radio,” allows people to experiment with electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster, all without the use of a cell phone or the internet. The Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.
