Come and join us tomorrow, Friday the 15th at the VA hospital building 7 auditorium for another night of ham radio. June is the month of Field day, the moth of celebrating our hobby, the month of proving that we are ready for any emergency, the month we show our hobby to the rest of the world. 

In this meeting Nick Powell, NF1P and Antonis Papatsaras, AA6PP will talk about our preparations for the SFRC Field day event. We will take you through the event logistics, venue, setup and tear down process and of course sign up volunteers in order to have a successful event.  

Like any general meeting night we will get the opportunity to chat, help new hams, share ideas and projects and generally escape from our daily stressful lives and have fun. 

​Looking forward to seeing you all.

No, it is not someone else's gobox. It belongs to our club. The awesome KX2 HF radio is now part of what we call the "San Francisco Radio Club Equipment Library". 

This is a dream coming true and a great benefit for the SFRC club members! In fact we have now in our possession three goboxes to loan out to our members! An HF KX2 gobox with a packtenna, a FM FT-60 gobox and a C4FM FT-70DR gobox! All in beautiful Pelican cases, self contained ready to operate! 

We are working hard to finalize the logistics around our equipment loan program but DO attend our Friday general meeting to see these goboxes up close. Over the next few weeks we will be updating our website with the loan program details.  ​

Let's make heading to our monthly meetings interactive!

We are implementing a new Talk-In/Travel NET before our General Meetings. At 6:45pm and until our General Meeting commences we will be taking checkins on our Sutro Tower 2m Repeater: 145.150 Mhz DCS 664 (info here).

Bring your radios with you and lets make traveling to the meeting fun! ​

In our February general meeting, tonight, Kenneth Finnegan, W6KWF, will be presenting on "Building a Communications System from Scratch: Providing Communications Support for the Wildflower Triathlon"
The Wildflower Triathlon is one of the worlds largest triathlons in the world, and requires an extensive communications system to run smoothly every year. Despite being located at Lake San Antonio where there's only one cell phone tower and a single amateur repeater in range, the Cal Poly Amateur Radio Club and its alumni take on the challenge and deploy a communications system with half a dozen voice repeaters, an entire stand-alone APRS network, and a multi-console Computer-Aided Dispatch center.
