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!
Monthly: 2-Beer Social Radio Hour: Friday March 28 @ 4:45 pm – 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 4:45-7:00pm (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 Kickstand Brewing in Commerce Township Michigan! The brewery offers a full-menu this month, and the food has been well received by club members who have tried it before.
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!
