PolyPhaser | Transtector, part of the global technology business Smiths Interconnect, is partnering with Above Ground Level (AGL) magazine in the support of the Arlington Radio Public Service Club (ARPSC). AGL and PolyPhaser will donate DC block protectors and industry expertise to the club as they work to further protect the antenna and coax lines for Ham Radios.
PolyPhaser | Transtector and AGL are pleased to support ham radio and amateur operators who use varied types of radio communication equipment for public service, recreation and self-training. Ham radio operators have a history of supporting communities with communications in emergency and disaster circumstances. There are an estimated six million participants throughout the world regularly involved with amateur radio.
“PolyPhaser was founded in 1979 by amateur Ham Radio operator, Roger Block. Although our product offering has grown significantly over the past 30 years, it is rewarding that our founding product the B-50 is still strongly requested and used by Ham Radio operators world wide for protection of their equipment from lightning strikes. We are pleased to partner with AGL in this worthwhile community sponsorship.” said Jim Nelson, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing.
Today, PolyPhaser | Transtector is building community relationships globally as a leading provider of RF protection and data communications. PolyPhaser is proud of its roots and continues to offer up-to-date protection for Ham Radio operators in the 21st century.
