On May 27th, we will be having our monthly “Saturday in the Park”.
The month’s event coincides with the National Hurricane Center’s On-the-Air Annual Communications Test. This is the opportunity to come on out and prepare your equipment and communication skills for the upcoming season. More information on that can be found here – Test your station before hurricane season begins! – WPBARG Forums
This will be our last Saturday in the Park until the fall, so be sure to clear your calendar and come on out!
Set-up starts at 10:00 a.m. Some folks like to get there a little earlier, and we run till we’re done, usually around 2:00 or so.
We will be having our monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. As always, I am excited to see everyone and talk about our upcoming Saturday in the Park on May 27th, which coincides with the National Hurricane Center’s On-the-Air Annual Communications Test.

There will be no program this month because we will be discussing what we’re doing for Field Day in June, which will occur before next month’s meeting. This is where you will get filled in on the what, when, and where of 2023 Field Day.
And as I’ve always said, “If we’re not having fun in what we do, we’re not doing it right.” With that, we’re going to have a little fun involving one of our own, so you don’t want to miss this meeting!
We welcome all to our meetings and activities, whether licensed or not!
The amateur radio station of the National Hurricane Center, WX4NHC (NHC), located on the campus of Florida International University in Miami, will conduct their on-the-air Annual Communications Test on Saturday, May 27, 2023, from 9 AM – 5 PM EDT (1300z- 2100z).
Note: There will be a celebration of life on June 10th. For more information click here.
It is with great sadness I make this announcement of the passing of one of our own.
Late last night, Kevin (KM4RYN) became a silent key.
Kevin touched so many lives. He will be remembered and missed by many. We will dedicate tomorrow’s meeting to him, and we will be suspending the business portion of our monthly meeting tomorrow, replacing it with a remembrance of Kevin. It will be a celebration of his life, and the lives that he touched. Everyone who wishes to say something in memory of Kevin will have an opportunity.
If you wish to write something, you may do it here, and when we have the arrangements, we will post it here – Kevin’s Passing – WPBARG Forums
Kevin’s obituary is at the AllCounty funeral home Click Here This is where you can share a memory of Kevin. If you are so inclined, it would be nice to list memories of Kevin.
On behalf of the West Palm Beach Amateur Radio Group, we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
