A Little About Amateur Radio
Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.
Often unsung, amateur radio operators regularly assist in emergency situations. Hurricane Katrina was no exception. Operators of amateur, or ham, radio were instrumental in helping residents in the hardest hit areas, including saving stranded flood victims in Louisiana and Mississippi.
The Fulton County Amateur Radio Club was established in 1954. The FCARC is involved with many things around the area. They have assisted in the 5K & 10K Heart Health Walk/Run. They assist the Archbold Police Department with traffic control for the Lights Before Christmas Parade in November. The FCARC also is involved in the U.S. Wide Emergency Communications Drill, also known as Field Day in June.
The Fulton County Amateur Radio Club offers testing sessions on the last Saturday of every month. Testing sessions are held at the Archbold Police Department on E. Lutz Road in Archbold, Ohio at 9:30am. Please contact KA8KDS, David Nelson at 419-923-6603 for more information
