What to Expect

Business Meeting

We open with a brief roll call, treasurer's report, and club business — usually 20–30 minutes.

Program or Presentation

Each month a member or guest presents on a radio-related topic — antennas, operating techniques, digital modes, and more.

Open Q&A and Fellowship

After the program we open the floor for questions, announcements, and informal chatting. A great time to meet other hams.
