The past two Wednesdays, we have started discussing ways to increase “hands-on” activity at our meetings. Come join us this Wednesday as we explore ways to promote amateur radio “lifelong learning.” The proposal is to devote some of our meeting time to exploring various amateur radio topics. For some members, this will be a way to revisit and review things that you have already experienced. For other members this will be a way to get exposed to some new ham radio activities. The goal is to have fun and learn some things at the same time.

Here are a few possible areas for exploration. Please feel free to add to this list.
