Remote Station Antenna Planning Group

PSRG is seeking volunteers to participate in a committee to plan enhancements to the antenna array (now consisting of one antenna) at the remote station location. The committee will recommend to the board options for a 2nd antenna that can improve performance on certain bands or in more directions. (Not all members need to be knowledgeable about antennas. Join in, you may learn something!) If you are interested, please contact Brooks, K9BDC, k9bdc@psrg.org.

Ham Connect Program for New Hams

Are you a new ham? Congratulations on getting your license! The organizations listed below would like to invite you to a Ham Connect Program 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. 

There are three remaining sessions of the Ham Connect Program. Each session will provide the same information from the participating organizations. The sessions are spread out across the Seattle area and are in-person, hybrid, or virtual.  You are welcome to attend any or all.

  • Tuesday, July 22, 7:00 pm (virtual), Host: Seattle Hubs. Scan QR code for Zoom link.
  • Sunday, Oct 5, 3:00 pm (virtual), Host: Cascadia Radio. Scan QR code for meeting link.

We look forward to meeting you at one of these programs.  If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@seattleemergencyhubs.org .  Up-to-date information about Ham Connect sessions and virtual links can be found at http://www.hamconnect.org or by scanning the QR code below.
