Bring your HTs to the June RRRA Meeting and get help programing your radio with the latest set of frequencies for the area .If you have a programing cable, you’re encouraged to bring that also, but we’ll have a supply of cables available for use.
There will also be a demonstration of I Am Responding, our pager system for ARES.

The following story appeared in the March 18, 2025 issue of ARRL Club News:
Your club is planning to staff a table at a local community fair or event. Offer to send radiograms. Recruit volunteers to explain what a radiogram is and, later, send the messages. Who in your radio club is active on the traffic nets? How many members know the radiogram format or know how to send a radiogram message on the air? Fear not! Your club can put its best foot forward and hold an amateur radio message fair with minimal traffic-handling skills using an exciting new tool: the Radiogram Portal!
Many Technician class amateurs miss out on fun and skills learning of traffic handling because they reside in areas of the country where local traffic nets on VHF repeaters don’t exist. The Virtual NTS Training Net (VNTN) seeks to address this problem with the creation of a Zoom-based local traffic net that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.
First Responders, Amateur Radio Operators, and members of the public who are interested in becoming SKYWARN® storm spotters—and current spotters who wish to refresh their skills—must do so by watching the NWS WFO Grand Forks 2025 SKYWARN® Storm Spotter Training video.
⚠️ In-person SKYWARN® Storm Spotter training will not be conducted in 2025.
