Amateur Radio Day
Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve will be making waves that will be heard around the country--and maybe even around the world. Members of the Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio Club (SFTARC) radio operators will be operating two amateur radio stations from the park. These “ham radio operators” as they are often called, will exchange greetings with other amateur radio operators through a program called Parks-on-the-Air (POTA).
Members of the Olathe based SFTARC will set up amateur-radio stations at the historic three-story limestone barn located north of the parking lot. Most of the communications will be conducted using voice, but visitors may also be treated to seeing and hearing the Morse code used for communications.
