Electronics
As a service to the community, we can offer our opinion on what your old electronics or ham radio equipment might be worth. If you have leftover or unused ham radio gear, we may be able to help provide advice on its value, and possibly remove equipment or sell things off, and we gratefully accept donations of surplus electronics. Contact a club volunteer to get started.
2020 HAM Classes Cancelled
We had classes planned for the first two Saturdays in May, and the first two Saturdays in December. These were cancelled by order of the Police Chief. When restrictions relax, we will try reschedule. Watch this space.
