Happy New Year to you, with a fresh start in 2025 it’s time to set some new Radio-Goals and get to work knocking them out! We have a fresh calendar of events and the SLAARC Club wishes you a peaceful and prosperous end to 2024.
Monthly: Club-Meeting: Sunday January 12th at 6:30pm – In-Person (Open to all)
The monthly club-meeting is an opportunity for members to meet in person and share a dinner (optional) at the Witch’s Hat Brewing Company (starts at 5pm) before proceeding across the street to the official meeting place. Club meetings occur at Witch’s Hat Depot starting at 6:30pm, and generally last 1 hour. Topics for each months meeting will be posted prior to the meeting. This event is open to anyone with an interest in the club or amateur radio. You do not need to be a member to join us!
Special Event: Winter Support Your Parks January 17-19 5pm-on – In-Person (Open to all)
Continuing the club-tradition of getting a group together for Parks on the Air’s Quarterly “Support Your Parks” Event, this special multi-day get together will occur at the Brighton State Recreation Area from Friday afternoon through Sunday. Accommodations at the Migizi Cabin have been reserved by the club for the duration of the event, so bring your sleeping bag (staying overnight is optional), some snacks and get ready to operate in the comfort of the heated cabin on the beautiful Brighton State Recreation Area property.
This event is open to the public, and we will happily coach you on running a club-provided radio using the Club Callsign! All are welcome to come out and learn more about operating and sip a coffee or hot-cocoa.
Located off Bishop Lake Rd, drive back past the Ranger Booth, Stay left at both intersections to find the Cabin. We will be visible with many antennas surrounding the cabin!
Monthly: 2-Beer Social Radio Hour: Friday January 31 @ 4:30pm – In-Person (Open to all 21up)
Come check out our “2-beer Social” and chat about radio projects with other like minded folks! We would love to see you and raise a pint with some club members to talk about the hobby and enjoy a cold brew at the end of the week. Occurs the last Friday of each month from 4:30-7:00pm (or beyond, feel free to come a bit late if your work or commute dictates). Join us as we explore the semi-local microbrew scene!
This month we will meet at Eternity Brewing in Howell (right of the Latson Rd. exit)!
Weekly: Sunday Evening 8pm – The Official SLAARC NET (Open to all licensed Amateurs)
Join us to chat about your recent radio achievements, hear club news, and have a chat with other club members. The weekly Sunday Evening net is the official NET of the SLAARC club and occurs on each Sunday on N8SL (147.040+ 110.9pl) where the club doesn’t have a regular monthly in-person Meeting!
As a reminder, we’re always looking for club members to volunteer to run the net! Please check out the sign-up sheet and help support our club activities if you are able!
Weekly: Thursday Evening 10pm – The Informal Late-Night Roundtable. (Open to all licensed Amateurs)
The Late-Night round table brings a bit more casual conversation with other night-owls on the repeater N8SL (147.040+ 110.9pl). This is not a formal net, so feel free to come by, jump into the conversation whenever a topic peaks your interest. Hosted by N8JRD or W8KNX, we’d love to have you for a late-evening chat!
Weekly: Saturday Morning 8:30am – In Person Radio Breakfast – In-Person (Open to all)
Join a group of club members on Saturday morning to get your day started right! Chat radio and life with other like minded folks over your choice of breakfast at the South Lyon Lucas Coney Island. The event starts at 8:30am and runs as long as you’re willing to sip a warm cup of coffee! See you there.
