We have several upcoming events outlined below- we hope to see you at our demo day, and our club meeting- and more!
OCTOBER 11, Wednesday: On the Lawn! We will be back on the UC lawn all day, and have a “Get on the air” station or two setup for you and others to experience the fun of Amateur radio, come by- make a contact, and have some fun! If you believe you know of anyone else who may be interested in the hobby/club/technology – this is a great opportunity to bring them out!
OCTOBER 12, Thursday: CLUB MEETING! 7:00 PM: We will be meeting in the Raleigh Room @ 7:00PM. The Raleigh Room (Room 226) is located inside the UC. We will be forming a club roster, finalizing other club decisions to kick us off, and going over the very basics of Amateur Radio- and answering your questions. Please come join us, and feel free (encouraged!) to bring anyone with you who may be interested. You do not have to be a licensed operator to be a part of the club!!
OCTOBER 14, Saturday: Balloon Launch! 11:30AM: Balsam Building parking lot @ SCC. Apodaca Science Building @ WCU’s campus. We expect to launch between 11:00 & 11:30.
NOVEMBER 7, 14, 21, Tuesdays: Amateur Radio Technician Course: 6PM-10PM @ Jackson County Rescue Squad. This course is an abbreviated course, with some self study required. We will take a few evenings to go over many things relating to your Amateur Radio Technician Exam, with the goal for you to pass the examination on 11/21. The Rescue Squad is located at 327 County Services Park, Sylva NC. (Turn left at Ingles again, before you get to the roundabout, County Services Park is on your right, across from the ECU dental school at the end of the road). If you are unable to arrange transportation, please let us know!
