Amateur radio field day is June 24, 25

The Ozaukee Radio Club and Ozaukee Amateur Radio Emergency Services groups will hold a field day Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25.

The groups will set up emergency communication stations at Pleasant Valley Nature Park in Cedarburg.

The field day is considered a national emergency preparedness event and is intended to demonstrate the role of amateur, or ham, radio operators during an emergency, such as a tornado, that takes down internet, cell phone and email communications.

The park is off Pleasant Valley Road east of Highway I two miles north of Cedarburg.
