Members of Floyd Amateur Radio Society (FAIRS), set up a club station at a hunting camp in the northern part of the county where they were joined by several area hams who operated their personal stations on the property.
Ham Tom King is the president of Floyd Amateur Radio Society. He operated the radio with Don Clemens. Donna Johnson kept a record of his contacts. This group took part in a radio test covering the United States and Canada.
David Larson also operated an amateur radio station, along with Jason Gallimore.
