November Club Meeting

Posted on by

Repeaters, ARES, SKYWARN, Nets, and More

In-person only: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St., Lincoln).

Have you ever seen a repeater? You’ll see one at the club meeting. Why do we have ARES nets? You’ll find out why. Ever thought about why a call to another station is spoken in a certain way? Why do some folks end their contact by sending both call signs — and in a certain order? We’ll cover this, too. Come and get some great information to help you while working the repeaters. Invite a ham buddy to join you at the club meeting!
