Help GSARA Build 20 Complete Ham Radio Kits for Local Students
This summer, GSARA will help introduce 20 students to amateur radio through a hands-on youth radio camp.
The goal is not simply to demonstrate a radio or let each student make a quick contact. We want every participant to build something, understand how the components work together, and leave with a complete radio and antenna kit they can continue using after the camp.
EVENT: Summer Support your Parks POTA Meetup
Our GSARA Club event for the Summer POTA Support Your Parks weekend is coming up this Saturday, July 18th. For those of you not deep sea fishing or supporting the bicycle event on Mt. Washington, we will be returning at Pillsbury State Park (US-2673). The park is on highway 31 just north of Washington, NH. Many of you are now familiar with the location and are aware of what a great park this is.
GSARA Members Support Local Road Race Communications with ARES Team
The weather was beautiful, the communications team was well organized, and the people involved with the race genuinely appreciated the support from the amateur radio operators. There were even free snacks involved, which, as any experienced ham knows, dramatically improves operational readiness.
Spring NEAR-Fest Recap: Soggy Boots, Strong Signals, and Plenty of Eyeball QSOs
Saturday may have brought rain, but it definitely did not wash out the fun. Everyone stayed in good spirits, and the soggy weather almost became part of the adventure. Ham radio people are a special breed anyway. Give us a radio, a canopy, a warm drink, and a questionable weather forecast, and somehow we still call it a great day. The rain came down, but the conversations kept going, the exploring continued, and the weekend still felt packed with activity and energy.
