SARA MEETING
Unless noted, meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month in the Mural room of the Senior Center, at the Stamford Government Center, Tresser & Washington Boulevard, Stamford Connecticut. Meeting starts at 8:00 pm.
Convenient safe parking. Twenty Four hour security. All our welcome to attend.
Directions.
The meetings continue to be held the first Thursday of the month at 8.00 P.M. on the second floor of Stamford Government Center. The business portion is short as most of the club business takes place at monthly board meetings. In the past year we have had speakers on topics covering various aspects of amateur radio such as antennas, installing HF radios in vehicles, satellite communications, W1EE repeater operation, field day preparations. In the coming year we look forward to offering speakers on various aspects of amateur radio. If you have a suggestion for a topic or speaker or you would be willing to make a presentation, let a club officer know.
Some General Guidelines For Operating At A Public Service Event
This document represents a compendium of things I’ve learned and/or read about ham radio operations at a public service event. I make no claim that any of is original and this is NOT an official document of any organization to which I belong. It is simply a collection of things that I’ve learned – some of them the hard way.
