LWRA SPONSORS A MONTHLY QRP AND TAILGATE TECH.
We meet on the last Saturday of the month, and test out new gear configurations and deployment strategies. We meet for about 3 hours similar to sprints that are held all over the world. Most months the QRP Expedition is held at a different park to add variety and a nice change of scenery for the QRP Expeditions.
Each month now has a theme emphasizing a different mode and or technology in amateur radio.
NEXT SCHEDULED EVENT!
Date: Saturday November 30th 2024 in the morning.
Location: Various homes of local hams. Locations to be announced.
Theme: Helping Hams Event! Come out and give a hand to a local ham with their station that they can’t do by themselves. This will be non-strenuous work and great fellowship. If you are new to radio and not sure how you can help, come on out anyways for the fellowship and learn from the projects.
More details coming soon!
