Program Description

Event Details

Think you know Amateur Radio because you’ve seen it in a few movies? Think the internet zeroed it? Think it’s only for geeks/nerds? This is your chance to learn more about this ever-evolving hobby/interest/passion from The Red Rose Repeater Association (w3rrr.org). There are many reasons people become licensed amateur radio operators such as participating in competitive events or contests, aiding in communication during parades or road races, serving as a vital comms link during emergencies or even just to enjoy the challenge of building their own antennas or radio components. So come check it out, no matter which section you’re interested in. The presentation will include a Q & A session and demonstration. Ages 18+.
