No phone? No internet? No problem.
Amateur radio operators—known as "hams"—have been connecting people across continents long before cell towers and Wi-Fi. And they’re still doing it today, with skill, ingenuity, and a little help from the ionosphere.

Join the Renfrew County Amateur Radio Club at Riverside Park, Pembroke
from 2:00 PM Saturday, June 28 to 2:00 PM Sunday, June 29, 2025,
as we take part in the ARRL Field Day, a 24-hour event where hams across North America test their skills in friendly competition to see how many contacts they can make.

Come see this fascinating hobby in action:

  • Learn how radio works when everything else goes down
  • Watch real-time contacts across the continent
  • Explore how amateur radio supports emergency response
  • Try your hand at the mic and get on the air!

Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned operator, everyone is welcome. Drop by and see how this time-tested hobby connects people, builds skills, and keeps communities prepared.

 Stop by, say hi, and get on the air!
