Heritage Center Exhibit
A temporary exhibit at the Heritage Center, in partnership with the Clark County Amateur Radio Association (or CLARA) will be up through the end of December.
The exhibit looks at the history of “HAM” or Amateur Radio and the history of the local HAM radio clubs and their members and activities. The club recently received an award in recognition of their 75 years of club activity in the area from the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). The exhibit features different radio equipment, including a reproduction Spark Gap Transmitter on loan from the Westcott House, like one that John Westcott, an early amateur radio operator, would have used.
