Why We Need Ham Radio by Ted Cruz
Thank You for a Resounding Success at ARRL Field Day 2026!
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Historical Society—and especially Marilyn Fisher—for their incredible hospitality and support in making our 2026 Field Day at the Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse a resounding success.
During the allocated 24-hour time frame, 11 amateur radio operators participated and successfully logged over 200 contacts!
A huge thank you also goes out to Schoolcraft County Sheriff Charlie Willour for hauling the County Emergency Trailer to and from the site for us. Your dedication and partnership make these vital emergency exercises possible.
