refuge system has offered conservation and quality recreation.

Amateur Radio operators are helping spread the word about the National Wildlife Refuge System by operating from refuges during National Wildlife Refuge Week.

Radio operators highlight refuge features, wildlife and geography when making contact with other stations across North America. Operators will make contact using voice, teletype and, at some stations, Morse code.


• The Fish & Wildlife Service will observe 2013 NWR Week in October. The Amateur Radio special event will coincide with NWR Week, October 13 to 19, 2013.
