News and Upcoming Events

Field Day is coming in June!

Every year, ham radio operators from all over the world take place in an emergency preparedness exercise to practice setting up ham radio stations in temporary locations, as would be necessary in emergency situations such as hurricanes or blackouts. Our club will take part in this, as we’ve done for decades. This year the event is on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28 at Needham Memorial Park’s gazebo. All are invited — this event is open to the public. If you are a ham, bring your license and you can take a turn operating W1TKZ!

We had a fun time explaining and showing ham radio to the public at Wellesley Wonderful Weekend on Saturday, May 16 at Wellesley High School. Read more about this in the May newsletter.
