http://www.tacticalgearmag.com - On the fourth weekend in June, amateur (ham) radio operators from around the country and world converge on the air for Field Day, a tactical and emergency exercise designed to demonstrate the long-range communications capabilities of amateur radio.It's a chance to show the public that two-way radio communications are anything but antiquated in a world reliant upon commercial telecommunications networks - systems that indeed afford many modern conveniences (when they work), but are also the first to go down during natural or man-made disasters (when you need them most).
