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.
Spring HAM Class Completed
We had classes on the first two Saturdays in May. We educated and passed a few dozen new radio licensees. Fall 2019 classes: December 7th and 14th.
