Red River Radio Amateurs

On July 16, 2025, Jake K0RQ announced that Fargo has a new repeater.

In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “Everybody’s talking about everyday carry, or EDC, the trendy name for the collection of necessities you tote around with you every day, whether it’s in a pocket or a bag. ARRL Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, joins the podcast to talk about easy ways to make radio part of your everyday carry.”¹

The August 2025 Contest Corral is available for download from the ARRL Contest Calendar page.

ARRL Field Day 2025 is now in the history books. The Red River Radio Amateurs once again activated their club callsign—W0ILO—as a Class 3A¹ station from the Cass County Highway Department in West Fargo, ND.

We had 22 visitors and operators on our sign-in sheet at the end of the event, including some who were visiting us for the first time to see what ham radio was all about.

Toilets on the Air (TOTA) is an exciting new contest for licensed radio amateurs during HOPE_16. Compete to make the most voice, CW, and digital contacts with other attendees for points and awards like “Worked All Toilets”. ¹

And, yes, T2T is a real thing! 🚻 ↔️ 🚻
