Manalapan "Field Day" Emergency Communications Demo

The Manalapan Township Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) in conjunction with the Raritan Bay Radio Amateurs (RBRA) will be demonstrating Amateur Radio at the Manalapan Township Municipal Building on Saturday June 22 9am - 5pm.  They invite the public to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. 
Amateur Radio is growing in the US.  There are now over 700,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world.  Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide both emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free. 
To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.emergency-radio.org.   The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams.  See what modern Amateur Radio can do.  They can even help you get on the air!
