Calling All Ham Radio Fans To Field Day In Howell

HOWELL, N.J.— The Ocean Monmouth Amateur Radio Club will be part of this year’s nationwide Annual Amateur Radio Field Day with an overnight event at Alfred C. Sauer Park at Echo Lake.

The overnight event will be in the Pavilion at Echo Lake from 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 26. The public is encouraged to attend. Alfred C. Sauer Park at Echo Lake is at 1225 Maxim–Southard Road in Howell. The information was posted on the Howell Facebook page.

Field Day is ham radio's open house. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio, organizers say.

Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation.

The event combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach and technical skills all in a single event.
