When disaster strikes, Warren County EmComm will be there, prepared and ready to go.

Warren County EmComm is a group of Amateur Radio operators with a variety of backgrounds who have volunteered to help our community in times of emergency or disaster by providing multi-mode communications throughout the County, and between the County and other jurisdictions, as needed.

On June 26, 2021, the group participated in a national ‘field day’ at Fantasyland Playground.

Field Day is ham radio’s open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio’s science, skill, and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933 and remains the most popular event in ham radio.

Our publisher Mike McCool spoke with Greg Butler from EmComm at the event and learns more about amateur radio.
