Ham radio operators to work from Blennerhassett Island (West Virginia)

The Parkersburg Amateur Radio Klub will activate a Parks on the Air radio station from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday on Blennerhassett Island.

The event will make history and reflect on the history of the club, club officials said. The group will be the first amateur radio club to operate from the island, and ham radio operators will have the opportunity to register a two-way communication and gain awards.

“Blennerhassett Amateur Radio Club was the original name of our club back in the 1940s. So, the outing to the island reflects, in part, our own history as the Parkersburg Amateur Radio Klub and ham operators in the Mid-Ohio Valley,” club member Corey Meadows of Williamstown said.
