Lupinacci Attends Field Days Hosted by Larkfield Amateur Radio CLub

This past weekend, Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) joined the Larkfield Amateur Radio Club (LARC) for its annual Amateur Radio Field Days. Held at West Hills Park in Melville, this event hosted hundreds of radio enthusiasts from across Long Island as they participated in multiple radio activities. These activities included using the radios to communicate, demonstrating how pivotal radios are to community disaster preparedness.

“Each year, I attend LARC’s event and have an outstanding time participating in the many radio activities offered to our residents,” Lupinacci said. “I enjoyed learning about the profound role that radio can play in emergency situations as well as the utility behind this hobby.”

Dr. Peter S. DeLuca, a local LARC member, has been an outspoken advocate for the role amateur radio can play when alternative communications lines are out of commission.

“It is always a pleasure having Assemblyman Lupinacci spend time with us at our annual amateur radio emergency preparedness event,” said DeLuca. “Our radio club appreciates his understanding and commitment to amateur radio and its emergency communications.”

“I look forward to next year’s LARC Field Day and thank this year’s participants for their continued interest in what could be a lifesaving communication,” Lupinacci said.
