Where we have fun, play radio, and keep the squelch loose!
On March 2nd, we will be having our monthly “Saturday in the Park.” Come join us!
Set-up starts at 10:00 a.m. Some folks like to get there a little earlier.
Directions can be found here – Saturday in The Park & Directions – WPBARG Forums
As always, everyone is invited… members, non-members, participants and observers, come one, come all!
Our monthly meeting, held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, is Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.
We will be discussing our upcoming activities, including Field Day in June.
Ed, WX2R, the Public Information Officer for HamSCI, will be our guest speaker. Ed is an engaging speaker, and I am looking forward to his presentation.
Ed will be reviewing the HamSCI Project for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. After this solar eclipse, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be 20 years from now, on Aug. 23, 2044!
Amateur radio operators will have an opportunity to be a part of this science project. This will be covered Wednesday, including how we can be a part of this project by contributing data to help further our understanding of sun-ionosphere-earth relationships.
