June, 2011 – Wellington Radio Club

 

This is an invitation for your organization to visit with The Wellington Radio Club this weekend.  It would be to cover our role in a national emergency communications exercise known as Field Day.

 

You could also go to several other locations to learn about Field Day, but we believe our operation may lend itself best to your needs.  For example, as part of Wellington’s participation, we will be using a bus to house two emergency radio stations.   You would also see antennas that we doubt would be found at other local Field Day sites…  Imagine one over 450 feet long!

 

This is the 12th year that the City of Wellington has endorsed and supported the WRC’s preparedness efforts.  The Wellington Radio Club has conducted an estimated 12,000 man-hours of preparedness training in that period in direct support of a local government and the Western Communities area. 

 

This is the link to our website, Current Activities-Wellington Radio Club , where there is a news release about this national emergency communications exercise scheduled for 2pm June 25th through 2pm June 26th at Village Park, Wellington. 

Please do not hesitate to call for further info or to arrange photo opportunities. Thanks in advance,
