Amateur radio operator Tyler Tenneson of Port Angeles, who uses the radio call sign WA7TCT, left, watches as fellow operator Patrick Singhose of Port Angeles, call sign W7PGS, makes radio contact with other radio stations during Saturday’s ARRL Field Day from a temporary station at the Clallam County Fairgrounds.
During the event, participants attempt to make radio contact with as many other operators scattered across North America and around the world from self-contained stations, simulating conditions that may occur in an emergency.
Field Day, sanctioned by the American Radio Relay League, also serves as an open house for the pubic to witness, and in some cases, take part in the world of amateur radio.
