A HUGE thank you to SKYLINE Construction, Roofing and Restoration for the repairs to the LARC Clubhouse. Your support of NEARS and the Lincoln Amateur Radio Club is hugely appreciated!

July Club Meeting
Presenter: Keith Snyder, NØKSS
Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)
Date: July 8, 7:30 PM
Imagine staying connected even when cell towers fail, Wi-Fi is unavailable, or you’re miles from the nearest internet connection. That’s Ham Radio, but that’s also MeshCore and Meshtastic!
Learn about two innovative projects that use low-power LoRa radios to create decentralized, off-grid mesh networks. Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer, emergency preparedness enthusiast, radio hobbyist, or simply curious about resilient communications, these techniques let you send messages, share location data, and build community-powered networks without relying on traditional infrastructure. Join a growing movement of makers and explorers who are redefining what communication looks like when the internet isn’t an option. It even ties into Ham Radio modes!
