Amateur Radio Exam Session, Monday, January 13

nv1w Exams

BARC will be holding its quarterly Volunteer Exam (VE) session on Monday, January 13, starting at 7:30 pm, at Artisans Asylum in Allston. You must have a reservation, which you can get by contacting Joe, NV1W, at joechapman@alum.mit.edu. More information can be found here.

We could always use additional volunteer examiners. If you are already accredited by the ARRL VEC, you can be added to our team without any hassle. If you want to become a Volunteer Examiner but aren’t accredited, NV1W can help you with the process. While theoretically anyone can become a VE, the things a VE who does not hold an Amateur Extra license can do are very limited.

POTA Outing, Saturday, July 27, Herter Park

nv1w Events, On the air, Outdoors

BARC will be having a summer Parks on the Air (POTA) outing on Saturday, July 27, beginning at 10:00 am at Herter Park (part of the Charles River Reservation, park US-8405) in Allston. The location is reasonably accessible using the T, and there is free parking.

Bring yourself and a radio if you have one, and lunch or refreshments. For newcomers to POTA, we can help you activate your first park. You are encouraged to visit the POTA website to review the rules and sign up.

The goal is to have some fun, play some radio, get on and learn HF, especially if you’ve never done so before.
