Forsyth Amateur Radio Club – Broadcasting Live

The Forsyth Amateur Radio Club broadcasted live from Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on August 13, 2016.

Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a fascinating world of technology, social interaction and education. No Internet or cell tower connection is required to speak to people around the world — or across town.

When I visited the club’s tent that was set up along the perimeter of Shallowford Square, Terry Brown of Clemmons happened to be manning the radio. Terry allowed me to record an exchange between him and a local amateur radio operator.
