Title: HAM Radio Field Day - This Weekend
Post by: Scott on June 25, 2026, 07:10:35 PM
Hey Folks!

For anyone interested, this weekend is "Field Day" in the Amateur Radio world. This event started as an emergency preparedness exercise where groups would test setting up antennas and radios on emergency power and making contacts with as many people as they could over 24 hours.

This continues today, while also being a social and public awareness event. If you have ever been interested in amateur radio, wireless communications, digital modes and backup communications like MeshTastic or point to point wireless networks you should come check it out and say hi. No license, or fee required just show up and say hi.

We will be operating all weekend at Newhall park on Lock St in Peterborough. Come say hi!
