The Trident Amateur Radio Club (TARC) will be participating in the 2004 ARRL Field Day, 26-27 June 2004 from #Noon on Saturday until 2 PM on Sunday. #
Amateur Radio ("Ham") operators across the country will leave the comfort of their home-based radio "shacks" for a weekend of emergency preparedness activity called "Field Day."
The event is designed to test operators' skills in setting up and operating radio communication equipment in situations where electrical power is limited or unavailable. The idea is to simulate the conditions that can occur during a hurricane, tornado or other emergency, including man-made disasters.
The first Field Day took place in 1933. #
TARC Field Day will be held this year at a new location:
North Woods Park
Greenridge Road
North Charleston, SC
The North Charleston FD will be in attendance and will bring their Fire Safety Education trailer. #Also we will have the Charleston County Emergency Communications Van along with Charleston County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members.
