Red River Radio Amateurs

• Meeting Called to order by Jake K0RQ at 19:00
• 25 Members in attendance

As the firestorms across Southern California continue to threaten millions of residents, trained amateur radio operators are serving critical volunteer roles to help officials spot fires before they get out of control. Dry conditions and wind gusts of 100 miles per hour have fueled days of devastating wildfires. Entire neighborhoods have been leveled by infernos.

There will be two big amateur radio events January 18th–19th:

• North American QSO Party
• POTA Winter Support Your Parks Event

Will you be on the air?

In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “In preparation for the first On the Air Live interactive livestream launching on January 28, we take a look at the topic: slow-scan TV (SSTV), a ham radio mode that allows you to use RF to send static images. Steve Ford, WB8IMY, author of SSTV: When a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words in the January/February 2025 issue of On the Air, joins the podcast to share the basics of this mode. Visit learn.arrl.org to register for the January 28 livestream!”¹

⚠️ Beginning with January 2025, RRRAES¹ ARES meetings will only occur during months where a business meeting is scheduled (unless an announcement is made).
