In this decade, when electricity and phone lines were down, Hams provided essential communications at Ground Zero on 9\/11, in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and in hundreds of other disaster relief efforts worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Have you been curious about amateur radio? What are ham radio operators, how do they train for emergencies? How do they provide critical communications during emergencies when wireless and wire-line phone systems are overloaded or fail? How can they operate when commercial power goes out?<\/p>\n<p>You can learn the answer to these questions and more by visiting a demonstration of emergency communication abilities at the San Antonio Fire Department Training Academy at the corner of Hwy 151 and Callaghan Road in Northwest San Antonio from 1 PM on June 27th to 1 PM on June 28th.<\/p>\n<p>Demonstrations will include high frequency (HF), sideband, digital (computer generated), Morse Code and local VHF FM communications. Tentative plans also include an amateur television demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Field Day or Amateur Radio, contact Gary Tangrady (K5GST) at (210)383-7872 (cell) or go to <a href=\"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ARRL Field Day is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League \u2013 the national organization for amateur radio.
