Seattle Emergency Hubs

Ham Connect for new & aspiring amateur radio operators
2025-10-05 15:00 - 16:30 (America/Vancouver) | Virtual Meeting, WA
Hosted by Cascadia Radio 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.
