A group of residents will spend their day simulating emergency situations with others in North America through amateur radio.

Kyle Zylstra with the Pella Amateur Radio Club says the group is taking part in an annual field day exercise today. Zylstra says there will be educational opportunities for youth to learn more about the field, as well as science and geography.

They invite the public to watch or participate with them during their simulations from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Fifield Shelterhouse #1 at Lake Red Rock.
