Thursday Weekly Events

 

We have 2 weekly Thursday events. These events are year-long events. In other words they happen 52 weeks of the year.

 

Event: Ham Radio in the Park.

 

Where: Red Mountain Park

When:

Nov - Mar: West side of the park, entrance off of Sunnyvale Rd.

Apr - Oct: East side of the park, entrance off of Brown Rd.

 

We bring radios, and antennas. We make contacts, test new antennas, and chat with other hams. Some of us go to one of the local restaurants afterwards.

In short, we have fun. Don't worry if you are a new ham, we have mentored (Elmered) new hams into various phases of our hobby, from how an antenna is made, put up, and tuned, to how to use the radio, and make contacts.
