What is this event about?

Every year Colorado Amateur Radio or Ham Radio people go out and setup radios they have prepared to work in the field. It is always the last weekend of June so this year CARBBN and Colorado Ready are teaming up for a Preparedness Field Day event. Meaning that if you want to camp and test your outdoor preparedness along with learn something about basic Medical preparedness please join us.

What is Amateur Radio?

Often called “ham radio,” the Amateur Radio Service has been around for a century. In that time, it’s grown into a worldwide community of licensed operators using the airwaves with every conceivable means of communications technology. Its people range in age from youngsters to grandparents. Even rocket scientists and a rock star or two are in the ham ranks. Most, however, are just normal folks like you and me who enjoy learning and being able to transmit voice, data and pictures through the air to unusual places, both near and far, without depending on commercial systems.
