==Amateur Radio==
Quoting from Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio Amateur Radio page] ''"Amateur radio (also called "ham" radio) describes the use of radio frequency spectra for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation and emergency communication".''

During EMF 2016 will shall be showcasing Amateur Radio on Bands from 3.5 MHz (80m) to 430MHz (70cm) and maybe higher. We'll also have a local frequency on either 144MHz (2m) &/or 430MHz (70cm) FM.

For reference, the EMF site in Guildford is at IO91qf

'''We will be operating a special event station: GB4EMF'''
