HOLMES- Dutchess County’s “hams” will join with thousands of amateur radio operators across the nation who will be showing off their emergency capabilities in an annual event known as ‘Field Day’.
This year at a new site, the Holmes Camp & Retreat Center in Holmes, NY, amateur radio operators from the QSY Society Amateur Radio Club will be demonstrating amateur radio at the Robinson Pavilion, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday June 23. They invite the public to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license.
