B.A.A.R.C. & Bay County ARES team up together…..

free passes to a sneak preview of the
film. A field publicity representative for the film's distributor, New
Line Cinema, said that select clubs in the top 50 markets where early
screenings are being held will be offered the opportunity to get passes
to a sneak preview during the week of April 24. Clubs contacted may also
be asked about their promotional activities for the weekend of the
movie's release.
Clubs selected to attend a Frequency sneak preview will be contacted
during the week of April 17. If available, tickets would be distributed
on a first-come, first-served basis, at the discretion of New Line
Cinema. Clubs are being urged to contact their local theaters to inquire
when Frequency will show in their area and about the possibility of
on-site promotion on behalf of Amateur Radio.
Frequency was directed by Gregory Hoblit. The movie uses ham radio as a
plot device that lets a long-dead father (Dennis Quaid) and his adult
son (John Caviziel) meet up on the airwaves via ham radio--during the
mother of all sunspot cycles. Eventually, they conspire in efforts to
change the past. The ARRL was consulted in the interests of accuracy,
but no League representatives have viewed the film.
