On June 27-28, the Oakland County Amateur Radio Society will be celebrating Field Day at the Springfield Oaks County Park. The park is located on Andersonville Rd near Davisburg. The public is invited. If you or a family member are interested in radio, come join us and see how much fun it is to use a short wave radio to talk to other states or countries. An experienced radio operator will be there to show you how.
