Day in Incline devoted to learning about ham radio

The Sierra Nevada Amateur Radio Society invites the community to learn about Amateur Radio on Field Day 2012 at Sky Tavern on June 23 from 11am-6pm.

Meet and talk with Reno’s ham radio community, check out their radio equipment, and see what Amateur Radio is all about. A special “Get-On-The-Air” station will be set up so people can try ham radio — including kids.

Reno’s Amateur Radio operators, or “hams,” will join other hams across the country in setting-up radio stations in unusual locations, using only emergency power, and then try to make radio contact with as many of those other hams as they can.

The Sierra Nevada Amateur Radio Society will be operating from the parking lot at Sky Tavern, 21130 Mount Rose Highway, 10 miles up Highway 431 from Highway 395.

For more information, call Jim Deahl at (775) 741.6937, or email field-day@snars.org.
