What is Amateur Radio?
Amateur radio (ham radio) is the licensed and private use of designated
radio bands, for purposes of private recreation, non-commercial
exchange of messages, experimentation, self-training, and emergency
communication.
Why attend?
~ Amateur Radio frequencies and mountain top repeaters can be utilized by licensed operators in times of emergency, or for general communications. If you’re an avid outdoors person, snowmobiler, hiker, hunter etc., basic equipment can be used to contact other radio
operators, and even to make a phone call when deep in the bush.
~ To learn about the hobby, and learn how to build and operate equipment
that can be used to contact others around the world.

of the room rental and a 1 year full membership to NORAC.
