The Flagler Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) Organization and Flagler Palm Coast Amateur Radio Club will be Participating in the American Radio Relay League’s national Children’s Day event Sunday January 8th. The event will be held at Hershel King Park, south of Grand Haven on Colbert Lane and will run from 12 until 3 or 4 PM. Both groups will have a number of radios set up on different bands and Children will have a chance to talk to local amateur radio operators and have an opportunity to get on the air and talk to other stations all over the country. All ages are welcome and we encourage parents to attend as well and talk to operators to find out more about amateur radio.
