Secretary of Twin Cities Repeater Club, I am writing to cordially invite you
to meet with the Amateur Radio operators of your community and members of
Twin Cities Repeater Club at <B>Neill Park, 13501 Upton Avenue, Burnsville,
MN on June 28 between Noon and 9 pm</B>. This is the National Field Day for
Amateur Radio people. Throughout the country, ham radio operators will be
setting up radio stations in unusual locations and making contact with
others as a display of their emergency communications
capabilities.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><BR></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">In
the past year alone, ham radio’s people have made headlines with their work
in the wildfires, floods, storms, tornadoes and other crises. The hams
provide emergency communications for many government and civic organizations
in disasters. In addition, they provide supplemental communications when
normal systems are rendered inoperable or overloaded. Hams have been called
(and correctly), “The people behind the curtain that made the heroes look
good.”<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">Like
most communities, Burnsville doesn’t expect a major emergency. But they
happen, and losing communications quickly can turn an emergency into a real
disaster.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">We
will be inviting the press to drop by, and will have brochures, information
packets and other materials made available through the ARRL, the national
association for Amateur Radio, explaining our work.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">I
hope that this plan meets with your approval and look forward to your
visiting this event. It should be fun and is also a validation to the
hundreds of Amateur Radio volunteers who have spent thousands of hours
providing emergency communications, public service work and other benefits
throughout our community and region. If you need more information or would
like to confirm your visit please contact me at
