The Treaty City Amateur Radio Association will be holding their monthly meeting at 7:30pm on Thursday, September 2 at the Studebaker School on Heritage Drive in Greenville. The TCARA is one of the oldest Amateur Radio clubs in Ohio, if not the nation.
If you've seen the movies "Contact" or "High Frequency," you may have seen a little bit of "Ham" Radio on the screen. Ham Radio is a hobby, which has been around since the very beginnings of wireless communication, and has provided experimenters and hobbyists the avenue that has lead to many technological developments we use today. Wireless computer networks, radio and television broadcasting, cellular telephones, and digital two-way radio are just a few of the modern technologies influenced by Ham Radio.
Hams enjoy meeting friends from all over the world for casual chats, contests are always running on the weekends to compete for the most contacts made, and Hams also are very active in emergency communications. Whether spotting storm cells for the National Weather Service, or listening to the shortwave radio hoping to hear someone on the opposite side of the globe, Ham Radio provides enjoyment for people of all ages.
Anyone interested in Ham Radio is encouraged to check out our website at http://www.w8umd.org or contact n8yd@arrl.net for more information.
