Help - Repeater Supporters Needed!
If you use the Boonville repeater, please help support the repeater. Actual club membership is very small, but the repeater covers a wide area and there are many users. We would like to keep the repeater up and running reliably for regular and emergency use but we need the financial support of all users to do so. Your voluntary repeater dues will help to keep this north country communications resource available to all. We really need your support. Please contact the club treasurer.
Events:
May TBD Dodge Pratt Northam Art and Community Center and the Boonville Amateur Radio Club are offering a series of Amateur Radio Workshops for students and adults. They will help prepare students to participate in the June 16th Kids Day on-air event. The event encourages children to have fun with Amateur Radio and is sponsored by the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League), to offer on-air experience and foster the next generation of Ham Radio operators. To sign up or for more information please contact DPN at 942-5133, walk-ins are welcome.
