Amateur Radio and NWR Week

The 2010 National Wildlife Refuge Week is set for October
10-16th, and Amateur Radio will again be helping to mark this event.

The National Wildlife Refuge System, managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, spans our nation. This year, the refuge system celebrates 107 years of conservation and quality recreation.

Amateur Radio operators are helping spread the word about the National Wildlife Refuge System by operating within a refuge during National Wildlife Refuge Week.
Only authorized, responsible access to refuges is sanctioned by this event.

Amateur Radio observation will take place between Saturday, October 9th and Sunday, October 17th. Amateur Radio stations are expected to operate from several national wildlife refuges during 2010 NWR Week.

Contact 5 special refuge stations listed as active sites to earn a certificate.
