Members of the Pella Amateur Radio Club will be participating in the national amateur radio Field Day exercise today at The Well in Pella. Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend from 1 to 9 p.m. Field Day is a showcase for how amateur radio works reliably under any conditions from almost any location to create an independent communications network. The Pella Amateur Radio Club encourages anybody to get involved in Marion County and the surrounding area.
