Yesterday, our club—ARROW—held its annual holiday get-together. We had a great turnout, and it was a lot of fun. It’s a really great club, and I’m really happy to be a part of it.
In a recent issue of the NTS Letter, the ARRL encouraged amateur radio operators to utilize the Radiogram portal on the web to submit messages to friends and family.
The local ham club in my home town is the Mile High Radio Club or MHRC. As a public service the MHRC recently committed to providing the entire local community with a GMRS repeater. This location is Idyllwild, California which is to say that we live relatively isolated in a very small mountain village high on Mt. San Jacinto in Southern California. Village elevation is 5200 ft. and is embedded in a forest of tall pine and cedar. Wildfires and earthquakes are a constant worry here because the infamous San Andreas fault is a few miles away. Also, Idyllwild has become a favorite tourist destination for hikers who use the countless wilderness trails and seem to create their own emergencies on a regular basis.
In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “In early 2025, the ARRL Education & Learning Department will launch an interactive livestreamed video podcast, On the Air Live. The monthly episodes will be aimed toward educating new and intermediate-level hams, inspiring them to explore the nearly endless aspects of amateur radio and develop their skills. ARRL Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, who will host each episode, joins the On the Air podcast to share more details, including upcoming topics and how to participate in real time.”1
The January 2025 Contest Corral is available for download from the ARRL Contest Calendar page.
