The idea for the Masonic Lodges on the Air Contest grew out of the realization that many Freemasons have a love for Amateur Radio. Our own lodge has at least 5 HAMs who are active members of the lodge as well. Inspired by what the folks over at the Portage County Radio Club did with the Ohio State Parks on the Air, we crafted an idea to start a new contest to see how many Masonic Lodges we might be able to contact in a day. We first thought it would be limited to Ohio, but why stop there? 2021 is the first year for this event, and hopefully not the last!
