Ham Radio Operators Make Best of Mild Day for Winter Field Day Exercises:

FAIR LAWN -- It was 52 degrees on snowless muddy fields, but amateur radio operators made the best of a good situation participating in winter field day exercises Saturday. It is the first year the Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club joined the winter event, run by the National Association for Amateur Radio. The January exercise was added three years ago so "hams" could practice emergency communications under adverse winter weather conditions. The association has been carrying on summer field day practices each June since 1933 for what are now an estimated 40,000 operators.
