The Laurel Amateur Radio Club (LARC) invites all curious or interested individuals (kids & adults) to come on out to Riverfront Park off Avondale Street anytime between 2 p.m., Saturday, June 28 to 2 p.m., Sunday, June 29 to be a part of the national ARRL Field Day where 31,000 radio amateurs from around the country will be live and talking to each other!

It promises to be a neat outing where you can see all the special gear, talk to people over radio waves on the other side of the county, and get to make some new friends along the way.

LARC also uses the event as exercise to hone their emergency operations skills – Their group helps provide a layer of communication backbone to certain City events and are part of our City’s emergency plans should cell or other technologies falter in a drastic event.

A great opportunity to experience something new, a fun afternoon activity for the family, and way to connect with our all the cool things being done by people here in our town!
