Red River Radio Amateurs

RRRA needs YOU to run for office in 2026

Officers and a Board of Directors are essential to the operation of the Red River Radio Amateurs.

And our club owes a debt of gratitude to those who have stepped forward to fill these leadership positions.

But we can not continue to depend upon the same few individuals year after year. It is well past time for new officers to step forward from within our membership.

As specified in Article III of the RRRA Bylaws, a leadership election will be conducted during the February Meeting.

More About Bits and Baud

December 31, 2023 K0STK

In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “This episode ties into a feature in the November/December issue called Bits and Baud, which discussed important elements of digital communication, namely the quantity of information a transmission delivers—known as bit rate—and the rate of speed at which the information is delivered, which is known as baud rate. The article’s author, former QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, joins us to explain more about the differences between bit rate and baud rate, as well as why hams are concerned with these measurements in the first place.” ¹
