Cape Ann Amateur Radio Event

Hello to Good Morning Gloucester ,
My name is Dean Burgess and I am a member of the Cape Ann Amateur Radio Association here in Gloucester.I noticed you put a picture of me in one operating ham radio at our clubhouse of your daily blogs back last year.Our club is going to hold an outdoor amateur radio demonstration for the public and we would like to invite you to come by and take some pictures,video and write an artcile for your website if you wish.The event is called “Field Day” and it happens every year on the last weekend in June.It is where all the amateur radio operators go out an operate outside for 24 Hours straight.The purpose of this event is to promotre amateur radio to the public as well as an emergency communications exercise as we operate on generator power-we also give the public a chance to talk with someone across the world.I think that this would be something different that your website viewers would like to see.In this day of technology we would like to show the public that this is not your grandfathers radio anymore as we use computers to operate in digital modes and we talk to satellites.If you would like to see more you can go to our website at www.caara.net . This event starts at 2 PM on Saturday June 26th and runs 24 hrs until 2 PM the following sunday June 27th.I know that it is fiesta weekend but if it would be possible to fit into your schedule we would appreciate it.This event will be at the James Babson Cooperage Museum Field which is at the Gloucester/Rockport Line on RT 127. If you have any questions you can e-mail me back.

Sincerely

Dean Burgess
