Volunteer emergency communicators from Lamorinda's K6ORI amateur radio group gathered June 22 at Moraga Commons to participate in Amateur Radio Relay League's annual Field Day. Part contest, part emergency preparedness drill, Field Day attracts some 35,000 participants throughout North America. K6ORI spoke with contestants in Hawaii and Washington, D.C. as well as in Oregon, Washington and California.
