Amateur radio operators play a vital role in keeping our communities connected—especially in times of crisis—and this year’s ARRL Field Day with the Cape Ann Amateur Radio Association (CAARA) was a great opportunity to see their dedication in action.
I had the pleasure of attending this important event in Gloucester and presenting an official Governor’s Proclamation recognizing Amateur Radio Week in Massachusetts.
Field Day highlights not only the technical skill of these operators but also their commitment to public service and emergency preparedness.
Thank you to CAARA for inviting me and for all you do to ensure that when traditional communication systems go down, there’s always a signal getting through.
