Airwaves have been flown around by the Amateur radio that simulated for 24 hours at the Fallbrook's field. Town's radio enthusiasts massed on the field to listen to the simulation of an amateur radio on Saturday.

It all started 1:00pm Saturday in the soccer field of Fallbrook, An 8-year-old Jessel Autumn was repeated military characters "Novemeber six foxtrot Quebec" into a radio microphone in a sequence.  He repeated that qord over and over again intoning the call sign of Fallbrook's amateur (ham) radio club to operate in Orange County until he got thaw way right.

Town's radio enthusiasts including some Escondido real estate residents gathered at the field including Autumn to participate to the said event.

Fallbrook club's vice president, Ron Patten said that the event is being held annually to give clubs a chance to practice emergency set up programs and operations. In which the said programs were operated while engaging in a friendly contest to see which club can make the most connection to the ham radios around the whole continent.

Patten said, "It's the heaviest ham day of the year, all over in parks and mountaintops like this", "We're making contacts, running on emergency power kind of like it was an emergency, and having fun."

Patten also said that the amateur radio network extends around the globe and is there to provide communication in the case of catastrophic emergencies.

By just connecting to your car battery and putting up wire in a tree to get some connection if all else fails said Patten. He said that this system, folks in the flood-ravaged parts of the country have been heard on the airwaves.

On Saturday's event, numerous club's members had inclined tents on the grass and were hailing radio operators in the states and as well as other countries. One member, Tom Kadien, sat in front of the mobile home he set up for the overnight event.

And as the operation goes, everyone has been participating including children. Exchanges of signs, calls and antennae reaching the sky were all the main parts of the event. The event went well and the participants did a very good job in engaging in the operation and practice.

Kadien said, "It's really nice to see the young kids get involved." he also adds that in his experience, ham radio is an excellent way for kids to learn geography. "You can say, 'Oh, this guy's in Idaho,' and put a pin on it," he said. "Then they're like, 'Wow, I talked to somebody way out there", he added.

This is truly a very useful and essential necessity of man in times of danger and other unwanted circumstances. Escondido homes residents are proud to be a part of this one of a kind event.
