eHam.net News – PARMA, Ohio — A couple of slender, temporary towers stood in a grassy field at Stearns Homestead April 21 while members of the Parma Radio Club operated some amateur radio stations from the adjacent parking lot. Hal Rogers, a Parma resident and club president, shifted the dial on a digital receiver and was able to pick up another operator in Arizona. This was the sixth year that the Parma Radio Club has hosted its Earth Day event at Stearns Farm. Their equipment was powered by energy from the sun. A large solar panel was located outside the historic Stearns farmhouse. He said despite the popularity of cell phones, the internet and other high-tech methods of communication, amateur radio remains popular. “It’s easy to contact other operators around the world,” Rogers said, noting that it’s not necessary to have an internet connection. A radio signal is relayed through the air and bounced to a receiver.
