The audio archive of this and other SBARC nets have been indefinitely discontinued. Hopefully the audio recordings will be resumed before too long by another local ham enthusiast with the technical ability and resources necessary to do so.

We had another interesting net tonight with 8 check-ins plus net control Dave, AI6VX. Tonight’s topics included:

  • General conversation topics, nothing technical.

Tune in to the SBARC TM&E Net every Thursday at 8:00 PM local and see what interesting ham radio questions might arise or ask some of your own! All club members and visitors are encouraged to check in to the net each week.

SBARC Club Meeting – April 17, 2026

Last meeting we talked about the world of MeshCore and the new radio-only form of messaging it offers. SBARC is going to help this along by installing 4 MeshCore repeaters in the area to make it easier for our members (and others) to participate. Last month we showed the small circuit boards we use, and this month we show you some completed systems, ready to deploy.

We are also going to show a new episode of Levi’s Digital Voyage and Levi K6LCM will answer questions afterwards. In this episode, Levi and a friend flew a helicopter from Wyoming to Rhode Island. We’ll see the condensed version of this truly interesting trip.

 

We will be providing Zoom access this month, but we won’t be streaming the video. We’ll provide a link, and you will be able to follow along on your own computer.

Please join us this Friday!
