#podcast 287 (Audio Only)

This coming weekend, the 4th Saturday of June, Field Day.  An annual test of emergency preparedness in the amateur radio community and a contest to see how many other stations you can make contact with in 24 hours.

Tom Dean, KC2SJM, joins us today to speak about how much fun he is having on amateur radio, without the need to advance beyond the technician class license.

Tom speaks all over the word and is active in his local community.  Helping the Red Cross during drills, local races and hamfest, and enjoying the local ham radio community. 

If you are interested in amateur radio and hear this podcast before the weekend, check out http://www.arrl.org/fielddaylocator to find a local group in your area.  You don’t need to be an active ham or licensed to stop by a club and check it out.

Tom can be reached on twitter at   / kc2sjm
