How Hams Celebrate
Father's Day:
President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national
holiday in 1924.
In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a
holiday to be
celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not
officially
recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
In
recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by
promoting
male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Families of
Amateur
Radio operators insist that he or she attends the Santa Maria
Radio
Swapfest.
This year as in recent years past, Amateur Radio
operators will celebrate
Father's Day on Saturday June 16, 2007 at the
Santa Maria Radio Swapfest
The Santa Maria Radio Swapfest is sponsored by
the Satellite Amateur
Radio Club. You can get all of the information by
