As part of our 2026 Summer Series, on Thursday, July 16th at 7:30 PM at the Pepperell Community Center, NVARC will hold a workshop – “’First Station’ Design Workshop”. The goal is to get new hams comfortable with defining their needs and deciding on equipment for their “first” station.
We will talk about general needs and then break into groups – several new (or newer) hams combined with one or more with experienced radio amateurs – and have each group work on a solution to their general need. Mobile station? HF Base Station? You decide! We’ll then circle back and compare notes. And equipment selections.
If you have a laptop or iPad/tablet available, please bring it.
Like our usual meetings, we’ll start meeting at 7 PM, and kick things off at 7:30. We’ll go for as long as people want to ask questions, contribute, and talk. If the more experience hams have a radio that they would like to bring and talk about (as an example), please do!
We’d like to get an idea as to how many are coming (both new ham and mentor), so please reach out to Bruce, K1BG, at K1BG@ARRL.NET. But if you decide to attend at the last minute, that’s OK too! Nobody will be turned away.
See you on Thursday!
