HOWARD LAKE, MN – When the weather warms up, several “hams” will descend upon Howard Lake’s Memorial Park, and erect a sign that reads WøWCR above a collection of portable radios.
To any amateur radio operator that first sentence makes perfect sense, and indicates that the Wright County Amateur Radio Society will be in town to conduct its annual field day event.
Each year, the WøWCR, or Wright County Amateur Radio Society, conducts a two-day emergency communications drill in a different area of the county.
