Testing

Now is the opportunity to sit for your technician or upgrade your current license.

We are accredited to administer all elements of the FCC Amateur Radio exams, and we do so every OTHER month, on the first Saturday of the month, at the Cox Science Center in West Palm Beach.

Testing begins at 10:00 a.m. When you get to the front door let them know you are here for the amateur radio exam and they will get you to our room. Below is an ARRL link on what to bring Saturday.

Saturday in the Park – November 23

Activities

Due to Thanksgiving, we move our November meeting back one week. As Saturday in the Park always follows our Wednesday meeting, on November 23rd, we will be having our monthly “Saturday in the Park.” 

This is where we get together for laughs and fun, while we play radio. 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!

Elections and More

Announcements

Tonight was our last meeting of the year.

We had our elections and I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who made this a successful and fun year. From the leadership, to the members who rolled up their sleeves and got engaged during this past year, it’s a privilege for me to work with so many talented and hard working people. I am constantly inspired. And for those who, for various reasons, may be unable to join us in these activities, you are appreciated. It is your dues that help make so much of what we do possible. 

After two years of faithful and hardworking service as Secretary, Chair of Field Day (which, alone, was a monumental task), and previous Chair of Youth Outreach, Randy will be enjoying a much deserved break. He will still be here, engaged, and helping others as they transition into his previous roles. Thank you, Randy, for your leadership, dedication, and work ethic. 

Here is the leadership for 2025:

Executive Officers
President – Michael (K1WX)
Vice President – Marcos (KK4OPI)
Secretary – Richie (KQ4LOQ)
Treasurer – Chris (AJ1Q)

Board of Directors
Chairman – Michael (K1WX)
Vice Chairman – Marcos (KK4OPI)
Secretary – Richie (KQ4LOQ)
Treasurer – Chris (AJ1Q)
Director – Jeff (KM4UBL)
Director – Jo (N2QFT)
Director – Richard (AF4RS)

Save the date –  Our holiday party is December 11th at 1830 hrs. We will be sending out more information on that.

In addition to installing our officers at our January meeting, we will be doing a year review, celebrating everything that we accomplished in 2024. It has been quite a year!

Monthly Meeting – November 20, 2024

Meetings

This month, our monthly meeting will NOT be held on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Due to Thanksgiving, in November, we move the meeting back a week. Our monthly meeting this month will be held on November 20 at 7:00 p.m. We will also be moving back our Saturday in the Park to November 23rd.

We will be holding our elections, so there may not be time for a presentation, but maybe we can get a short one in there if time permits.

This month is the last meeting of the year. December is our Holiday Party – December 11 at 6:30. Due to its success, we will be having it at the same place we did last year. More information to follow.

As always, we welcome everyone to our meetings and activities, members and non-members, whether licensed or not!
