Events

Do you have portable gear? Bring it! It’s a Run What You Brung, Saturday in the Park! Don’t have any portable gear? No problem… we share! Come on out, have some fun, and maybe get some ideas if you’re thinking of building your own go box, or share your ideas with others who may be considering building theirs.

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. and usually wraps up by 2:00. 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!

Monthly Meeting February 25

Meetings

It’s going to be Meshtastic Monthly Meeting!

Okay, we are back to our regularly scheduled meetings. Last month was a one-off and we are not expecting any other changes for the year.

Our monthly meeting is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month. This month our meeting is on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.

Our presentations have been great. Our members have done an excellent job working and putting them together for all of us. I’m particularly excited to announce our presentation this month will be on Meshtastic. That may not come as a surprise to those who have seen recent posts on our Forums. Marcos will be our presenter this month. If you have a Meshtastic node, bring it. Part of the presentation will be setting up an ad hoc network with your node. This will continue outside of the presentation, so you don’t want to miss this one! if you can, update to the latest stable firmware. If you don’t have gear, don’t worry, it’s not necessary. If you do and you want some help before the meeting, just reach out to me. 

As always, we welcome everyone who has an interest in what we do, so join us in our meetings and activities, members and non-members, whether licensed or not! If you’re a new ham or thinking about getting your license, come on out and meet us! We can assist you in all aspects of getting your license and getting started in amateur radio.

Location:

For the 2026 year, we will be holding our meetings at the STEM Center. That building is on the North East corner of the general parking area. If you’re standing at the Cox Science Center looking out into the parking lot, it is straight ahead to your right. The stem center now has its own parking right in front of the building.
