At their meeting June 19, 2014, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners proclaimed the fourth week of June 2014 as Amateur Radio Week.
Amateur radio has historically played a significant role in developing world wide radio communications. Forsyth County has more than 450 radio amateurs who continuously demonstrate their value in public assistance.
