Since 1933, ham radio operators have set up temporary stations in public locations across the U.S. to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. Ham radio functions independent of the Internet or cell phone technology and would be a huge asset should a cyberspace disas- ter or emergency occur. The exercise will take place at the old Hope Mills Golf Course in Hope Mills. This event is open to the public.
