ELLIS COUNTY — Members of the Ellis County Ham Operators (ECHO) will be participating in the national amateur radio Field Day exercise June 22–23 at Historic Fort Hays, 1472 U.S. Highway 183 Alt., Hays.

The event runs from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.&nbsp;

Field Day is a showcase for how amateur radio works reliably under any conditions from almost any location to create an independent communications network.&nbsp;

“Ham radio functions completely independent of the internet or cell phone infrastructure, can interface with laptops or smartphones, and can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. That’s the beauty of amateur radio during a communications outage,” says Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, spokesperson for ARRL.

The national association for amateur radio, (<a href="http://www.arrl.org/" target="_blank">www.arrl.org</a>), represents amateur or “ham” radio operators across the country.

“In today’s electronic do-it-yourself environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and numerous other scientific disciplines, and is a huge asset to any community during disasters or emergencies if the standard communication infrastructure goes down,” Inderbitzen said.

Anyone may become a licensed amateur radio operator. There are more than 750,000 licensed hams in the United States, as young as 9 and as old as 100. 

With clubs such as Ellis County Ham Operators, it’s easy for anybody to get involved right here in Ellis County.

BUNKER HILL – This summer Smoky Hills PBS is working with public libraries throughout central and&nbsp;western Kansas to conduct summer reading programs through the Share a Story project. 

This year’s&nbsp;theme will be Nature Cat!

Share a Story is a 45-60 minute program geared toward children ages 2-7. Each program consists of the&nbsp;following format:

2. Watch it – View a show related to the book.

Each participant receives his or her own book and related materials.

Share a Story helps children become better readers by inspiring adults to read to children every day.

Research shows that activities like these do make a difference. Children who are read to every day, from&nbsp;birth on, do better in school, become good listeners and writers, and have better language, critical and&nbsp;imaginative skills.

Simple, fun daily activities like reading aloud, storytelling, rhyming, singing, exercise, drawing, and acting,&nbsp;teach young children language and literacy skills – and that’s what Smoky Hills PBS Share a Story is all&nbsp;about!

&nbsp;A&nbsp;complete schedule of Share a Story events can be found at <a href="https://www.smokyhillspbs.org/">SmokyHillsPBS.org</a>.
