PARKERSBURG – Members of three regional amateur radio clubs contacted ham radio operators worldwide for World Amateur Radio Day (WARD) Saturday at Fort Boreman Park in Parkersburg.

WARD, also known as the Ham Radio Open House, was a collaboration of Great Bend Radio Group of Meigs County, Ohio, the Parkersburg Amateur Radio Klub and Wood County Emergency Communications.

The three clubs working together on this project fulfills this year’s American Radio League emphasis on “Year of the Club.”
