Weather disasters such as tornados that leveled homes and businesses in Tuscaloosa, AL and Ringgold make the work done by groups such as the North Fulton Amateur Radio League critical. When cell towers are down and power is out, communication can be nearly impossible.
Groups such as the North Fulton Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) team show how today's amateur (Ham) radio enthusiasts can provide a critical service.
The ARES team will join the North Fulton Amateur Radio League (NFARL) “Field Day” Amateur radio demonstration event Saturday, June 25 through Sunday, June 26 at Waller Park Extension, 160 Dobbs Drive, Roswell. This free 24-hour event starts at 2 p.m. Saturday.
