On the weekend of June 25 to 26, members of the Central Oregon Coast Amateur Radio Club (COCARC) will estab- lish three amateur radio sta- tions capable of communicat- ing all over the Pacific Northwest and the west coast — and if conditions are favor- able, all over the world. The club supports, main- tains and operates emergency communications stations at the Florence Justice Center and the Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue main station, as well as adjunct equipment in other community facilities in town, along with a power- ful 2-meter repeater at the top of Mt. Herman Peak. COCARC members will establish and staff four ama- teur radio stations at Sutton Campground in Group Area A beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 25, and will operate continuously for 24 hours until Sunday, June 26, at 11 a.m. They will communicate with other stations in Canada, the United States and Oceania to test abilities, equipment and practices. One station will be a Get On The Air (GOTA) station for public education and demonstration. This will be an exciting educational experience for club members, local fire and police department staff, city staff and the community at- large. Field Day is the largest amateur radio event in the world. Last year, more than 2,600 different groups and more than 37,000 licensed operators across the U.S. and Canada participated in this event. This year, ham opera- tors will construct emergency radio stations at fire stations, parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards all around the country. The Amateur Radio slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words. Hams will again demon- strate their ability to send messages in many forms without the use of phone sys- tems, internet or any other infrastructure that may be compromised in a crisis. Over the past several years, the news of catastrophic events around the world and here at home have summoned ham operators to volunteer their skill and equipment to aid in saving lives and pro- tecting property. There are more than 700,000 FCC-licensed Amateur Radio operators in the U.S. and more than 2.5 million around the world. Hams voluntarily provide emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies. Wildfires, blizzards, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis are events radio operators endeavor to prepare for and Field Day is a valu- able tool to exercise and culti- vate readiness and capabili- ties. The Central Oregon Amateur Radio Club invites the public to participate in Field Day 2016. Learn more about this valu- able group of dedicated radio enthusiasts or how to get your own FCC Amateur Radio license before the next disas- ter strikes.
