Thanks to everyone for coming out to the meeting last night! It was fun having a more laid-back meeting, and we got into some great conversations about radio, electronics, and just college in general!

Thanks to everyone who trekked out to Bevis Hall with us for a tour of the ham shack! We got to run through all of the equipment we have available to students, plus we ran through how to set the radio up and get on the air!

We had an incredible HF setup at the Student Involvement Fair today! We heard Portugal and California, but couldn’t get a signal to send past the walls of the Union. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth!

Thanks for the awesome turnout at the meeting last night! We had a great discussion about how to get on WSPRnet with low-cost QRP setups and how we could use this in our project. Looks like we’ve got an awesome start to our project this semester!

Last weekend’s Winter QSO Party was a success! W8LT scored 360 points by making 12 over-the-air contacts with 8 unique states and 3 countries. Looking forward to January for our next QSO event!

Members of the Amateur Radio and RF Club were on the air today connecting with other schools and universities around the country (and world).  We made some good contacts and got new members familiar with the equipment.  We hope to see you at a future on-the-air meeting!
