In a 24-hour blitz that will include nationwide radio communications, the Elmhurst-based York Radio Club will operate at least three radio stations from the Elmhurst Fire Department Training Facility, 910 N. Addison, on Saturday and Sunday, June 24-25.

The operation will be part of Amateur Radio Field Day, an annual contest started in 1933 that is designed to test emergency preparedness. In past years, more than 30,000 Amateur Radio operators in the United States and Canada have taken part. Visitors interested in learning more about the ham radio hobby, or those who are simply curious, are welcome. More information is available at www.yorkradioclub.com

For the umpteenth year, the York Radio Club has supported our neighboring community of Lombard’s Lilac Day Parade –

We, as usual, need members to volunteer -tough sometimes as it always occurs the same weekend as Dayton/Xenia’s Hamvention.

So PLEASE help out –
reach Martin, KD4SLL 847-533-4526 or mroyce1 @ yahoo.com

Thamks and remember, giving of your time, resources and talent is a very good thing to accomplish!
