Field Day Locations and Amateur Radio Week Proclamation

By Joshua Carroll, N5JLC - Public Information Coordinator

The Governor of Arkansas met with five members of the Arkansas Section leadership on Monday to present them with a proclamation naming June 20th through the 26th a Amateur Radio Week.  One excerpt of the proclamation reads, "I urge my fellow citizens to recognize thee instrumental role of amateur radio operators in voluntarily protecting and saving lives in our State when severe weather and other imminent dangers threaten human safety."  Read the entire proclamation here.

This proclamation can be used to help promote Field Day, which is right around the corner.  You can see a map of all of the Field Day locations at http://ar.arrl.org/p/field-day.html.  If you don't see your own location on the map, then yours isn't yet registered with the ARRL.  Follow the link below the map to have it added.
