Ham Connect for new & aspiring amateur radio operators

The Hubs are a co-sponsor of this event, where you will meet other experienced hams and have an opportunity to learn how to use your new knowledge to participate more fully in the world of ham radio.  This includes activities such as contesting, getting on HF, outdoor activities like Parks on the Air, DIY antenna building, and how to prepare for and participate in emergency communication (EmComm) either from home or in the field. This preparation often involves fun events that provide community service while expanding radio skills.

At this session, co-hosted by the West Seattle Amateur Radio Club and the Western Washington Medical Services Team, the WSARC club meeting and a Winlink workshop will proceed the Ham Connect program, but you are welcome and encouraged to show up at 9:30 to observe.
