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.

If you’re thinking about getting involved in amateur radio, this is a great opportunity to meet us and get some info. If you’re just curious on what this is all about, come on out!

This is the premiere monthly amateur radio event in Palm Beach County, and this will be our last one until the cooler weather in the fall. In June we will host Field Day at the American Legion post 47 in Lake Worth again this year. Look for more information on that to follow.

Last month our Saturday in The Park was Winter Field Day. What an incredible event that was! We will be doing WFD Awards at our next meeting, so stay tuned here for more information on that.

This weekend we return to our monthly social event of friendship and radio. Without getting into the technicalities of the Gregorian calendar, this month we will be having two Saturday in the Park events. It’s a WPBARG BOGO! But you will still have to wait 4 weeks for the second one.

Set-up starts at 10:00 a.m. Some folks like to get there a little earlier. I know a couple of folks who will be getting there a few hours early to do some fishing.

October CERT Training

Announcements

In addition to the Train the Trainer course – https://wpbarg.com/2024/07/31/september-cert-training-train-the-trainer/ – that will be held in October, there will also be CERT course in October. This will be the last one for the year.

For those interested, this is a great opportunity to be involved in our community. The CERT program is administered and supported nationally by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and I would encourage this course for anyone who is looking to increase their skills in disaster preparedness, including medical operations, search and rescue, terrorism, disaster psychology, and more.
