In an effort to provide more opportunities to support the DRC membership, learn about ham radio, test equipment with knowledgeable support, and take some time to get together and have some fun, we have come up with “DRC Saturday”. These Saturday events that we have scheduled are intended to determine if this is something that people would like and would participate. We can do more or less depending on the feedback so please take some time to participate and let us know what you think.
The hope is that we can spread this around the area or even into the mountains but we thought we should start close to home.
We are always looking for people to help coordinate and help facilitate these types of events so please let one of the board members know what you are interested in.
We are also looking for more ideas for this event so please send them to one of the people listed above or let us know during the event.
Bring your own seating, as the provided amount of seats are limited.
