All professional radio started out as amateur radio before the profit was to be had and superstars were made without faces. But while professional radio kept evolving and more media formats entered into the national consciousness, amateur “ham” radio continued to evolve as well, into a version today that is more advanced and all-encompassing.
The Beaver Valley Amateur Radio Association has been part of that decades-long evolution, and on June 26 they are having their “Field Day” to showcase their technical prowess, and to invite others to join in the learning process of what it takes to be in amateur radio, and the achievements that could be had with the right moves.
Rich Soltez (K3SOM) & Director Tony Pavilonis (K3AHP) joined Matt Drzik (W257EA) on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the in’s & out’s of amateur radio, and how those gathered at Old Economy Park on June 26 will be entering a world of communication that is not only technically astounding, but could serve an importance down the line if other methods of technology aren’t readily available or accessible.
More details about the Beaver Valley ARA can be found at their website.

With the warmer weather bringing the best out in all of us, we need to start considering “all of us”. National Ride to Work day has motorcyclists excited to hop on the road, and thus, all motorists should be mindful of others, and their surroundings.
“Both motorcyclists and motorists are urged to share the road safely, stay alert, and obey speed limits. It is also important to never operate a vehicle while impaired. Responsible riding and driving can help reduce fatalities and injuries.
Last year, there were more than 3,400 crashes involving motorcycles in Pennsylvania. These crashes resulted in 217 fatalities. Crashes rose by more than 300 from the 2019 number of 2,977, while fatalities also rose from 174 in 2019.” – Yasmeen Manyisha, PennDOT
PennDOT is offering free safety classes to all motorcyclists of all skill level, and they are highly encouraged. PennDOT has partnered with several third-party motorcycle training providers to offer free motorcycle safety training classes to Pennsylvania class M permit and motorcycle license holders.
Class sizes may be limited, as safety guidelines are in effect to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and classes can be scheduled at multiple training sites throughout Pennsylvania. Class schedules are coordinated by each third-party training provider for their individual locations and additional information can be found at www.penndot.gov/PAMSP. Additional classes and locations will continue to be added.

This week, participating McDonald’s restaurants across the tri-state area are saying thank you to educators for their fortitude throughout the recently completed school year.
Today through Saturday, June 26, teachers can enjoy a free small Minute Made Slushie with any $1 purchase from McDonald’s global mobile app. The special offer is available through the McDonald’s app at more than 200 restaurants in PA, WV, OH and MD.
This special thank you to local teachers is part of McDonald’s Community Champions program, an ongoing initiative to demonstrate gratitude for community leaders who provide selfless service to local neighborhoods. The McDonald’s Community Champions program recognizes a different community group each quarter. Future honorees this year will include first responders and healthcare workers.
“Our restaurants have always been a place for the community to come together and share everyday feel-good moments with family, friends and neighbors,” said McDonald’s Owner/Operator Dan Delligatti. “We are honored to show teachers how much they are appreciated.”
The McDonald’s Community Champions program is a local extension of “Thank You Meal” program offered at McDonald’s restaurants across the country last spring. That initiative served more than 10 million meals to workers serving in frontline positions during the pandemic.
