Amateur Radio Saves Lives

This weekend, the Clark County Amateur Radio Club unleashes its biggest annual event yet: a 24-hour Field Day at SEH America in Vancouver, where 80+ hams will build from scratch a resilient radio network to simulate emergency comms—voice, Morse, digital—all while the public watches. It’s not just a hobby show; it’s a lifeline drill for when cell towers and the internet fail. Meanwhile, Camas High students launched a Mylar balloon radio experiment—flawed tech, brilliant spirit—that underscores how amateur radio keeps innovating, even in the sky.
