Tune-in to the World -
Amateur Radio gets people talking

The WIA National Field Day
Saturday the 23rd of October

With less than three weeks to go,
this day of promotion for amateur radio has 11 clubs all set to engage with members of their communities.

Clubs, groups and individual radio amateurs will be getting on air on the day to give their support to the unified effort of attracting new members and new radio amateurs. And that's got to be a good thing.

The 11 clubs who have so far registered will be running a Public Station in the event, and this category is also open to a group of three or more radio amateurs operating on a single callsign from a public place.

The other category is called a Private Station, with an individual operating portable, mobile or from a private residence. One of those has been registered so far.

Highly important is that Public Stations actually engage members of the public rather than just having them look on, and then walk away. Why? Remember this is not a contest, but a marketing exercise to promote amateur radio.

Check out the WIA website for some promotional and display material that is available to clubs registered for the event.

And we recommend that orders for the range Tune-In To The World - amateur radio gets people talking brand clothing be submitted online immediately.
