A local amateur radio group is collaborating with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Eastside Memorial Park in Minden for an event that will run from Thursday, May 31, through Sunday, June 3.
SIERA, the Sierra Intermountain Emergency Radio Association, will set up its emergency trailer radio station for the public to see as part of its visit to the Memorial Wall.
The event is sanctioned by the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, which is advertising the event in its magazine and website, thus inviting hams from all over the world to contact the station.
SIERA is a local radio group that provides communication support for many community events such as the Pony Express Re-Ride, bicycle and running marathons, the Nevada Day Parade, and others.
