Amateur Radio Field Day is today, Sunday

POST FALLS — About a half-dozen people gathered around a central pole attached to a massive oval of wires and cables. Using more wires connected to the pole, they worked together Friday morning at Frank Krug's Post Falls property to raise one of several massive antennas to be used during this weekend's Amateur Radio Field Day event. "Each one of these is experimental," said Krug, a past president of the Kootenai Amateur Radio Society.
