Local ‘hams’ to have ‘Field Day’
Florence amateur “ham”
radio operators will join thou-
sands of amateur radio opera-
tors worldwide to demon-
strate their effectiveness and
proficiency in providing criti-
cal communications after a
catastrophic event such as an
earthquake or tsunami.
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.
