Last call for RRRA members to help set up (and tear down) our Communications Trailer and represent Amateur Radio at the West Fargo 2023 Night to Unite on Tuesday, August 1st, in West Fargo.

Seth KC0ODE will be picking up our trailer at 1500 and moving it to Elmwood Park. A few volunteers are needed to help; remember more hands make light work!

When Messages Matter: Passing Traffic

In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “Passing traffic is a ham radio activity that’s nearly as old as ham radio itself, and getting accurate messages to their destination in a timely manner takes training and skill. In addition to participating in nets, hams also have the opportunity to take on ARRL Field Organization positions that are responsible for traffic. In this episode, we talk to Ethan Hansen, KC1OIP, who fulfills one such position, Official Relay Station, in ARRL’s National Traffic System. Listen in to learn about what it takes to become an Official Relay Station, how the position makes a difference in the community, and how it benefits your amateur radio skills and experience.”1

If you’re a newer ham, or new to Field Day operating, you can find a local Field Day setup that’s running one of these beginner-friendly stations. Tune in to find out how, so you can make plans to operate from a Field Day GOTA Station on Field Day weekend, June 24 and 25.”1
