[conspire] Emergency Communications

[Paul Zander]

This is the weekend for the annual amateur radio emergency communications exercise called Field Day, which started back in the 1930's.  Many different groups set up stations in temporary locations and try to contact each other.
Once again, I will be at a field next to Maryknoll.  That is the building with the Chinese style roofline that you have all seen from 280 a couple miles north of 85.  Details, a map, and some photos of past years at: https://www.fars.k6ya.org/fieldday/fieldday2018/

If you are in the City, you might check out the San Francisco Amateur Radio Club which will be near the Cliff House.  Details and a map at:   https://www.sfarc.org/2018-field-day.html
Or go to http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator  to find other places.  Every group on that list is open visitors.

BTW, the national amateur radio organization is the American Radio Relay League.  When founded more than 100 years back, they were organizing networks of radio stations to pass messages reliably from and to any place in the country.
