Governor Jared Polis of Colorado has officially designated this week as Amateur Radio Week in the state! This proclamation recognizes the invaluable contributions and significant impact of amateur radio operators in Colorado and beyond.
Amateur radio enables individuals to explore the world of wireless communication. It serves as a vital communication tool during emergencies, provides assistance to communities, encourages and fosters international goodwill through global connections.
Governor Polis’s proclamation not only celebrates the passion and dedication of amateur radio operators but also highlights their pivotal role in emergency preparedness and response. Their expertise and technical skills are invaluable in times of crisis, ensuring reliable communication when traditional means may be compromised.
Furthermore, we would like to extend our warmest congratulations to all operators on this special occasion. Your commitment to learning, experimenting, and expanding the boundaries of communication technology is truly commendable. Your efforts contribute to the resilience of our communities and make a positive difference in countless lives.
As we celebrate Amateur Radio Week, it coincides with the highly anticipated ARRL Field Day— our annual event that showcases the skills and capabilities of amateur radio operators. ARRL Field Day is a time to come together, test equipment, and practice emergency communication scenarios. It is an opportunity to embrace the spirit of camaraderie and demonstrate the vital role that amateur radio plays in our society.
We encourage all amateur radio operators in Colorado, as well as enthusiasts worldwide, to join in the festivities and participate in ARRL Field Day activities. Engage in radio contests, practice emergency drills, or simply connect with fellow operators to exchange knowledge and experiences. Let us celebrate the rich history, innovation, and community that amateur radio embodies.
Once again, congratulations to all operators in Colorado on this well-deserved recognition. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Governor Jared Polis for his support and appreciation of amateur radio. May this proclamation serve as a testament to the importance of your contributions and inspire others to explore the world of amateur radio.
Wishing everyone a memorable and successful Field Day 2023! Keep the airwaves buzzing and enjoy the thrill of amateur radio!
