‘Hamwaves of History:’ Honoring World War II heroes at the historic Buckingham Army Airfield (Florida)

The Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club has announced the return of “Hamwaves of History,” a live commemorative amateur radio event taking place from March 17-19. This unique tribute honors the brave men and women who served at Buckingham Army Airfield during World War II, a site that was once the largest airfield in Florida.

Members of the public are invited to join us at the Lee County Mosquito Control District Homestead House (the former site of the airfield) to witness history in action.

The events, which are free and open to the public, will be held March 17 and 18, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and March 19, from 8 a.m.to 3 p.m., at the Homestead House 15140 Homestead Road, Lehigh Acres.
