HAM radio operators to honor noted WWII chaplain Fr. Metcalf at Belwin events (Minnesota)

The Stillwater Amateur Radio Association’s (SARA) annual event at Afton’s Belwin Conservancy has drawn a distant and illustrious visitor through the medium of “ham” radio. Belwin’s Savanna Center was once the home of the late Episcopal priest Father George Metcalf, a ham-radio operator with call sign WØJH. Last year, Springfield, Illinois Episcopal Bishop Brian K. Burgess, also a ham, contacted SARA during the event. This year he plans to visit January 9-11 to operate alongside the SARA hams. While here Bishop Burgess will visit local clergy, bring greetings from the Springfield diocese to the Episcopal Church in Minnesota and officiate with Fr. Jay Phelan at the 10:00 Sunday service at Stillwater’s Ascension Episcopal Church.
