Parks On The Air (POTA) is an amateur radio activity that encourages operators to set up portable stations in parks and make contacts from the field.

Kopernik Summer camp students will launch a High Altitude Balloon. You can follow the flight on www.aprs.fi  and put K2ZRO-9 in the Track Callsign box on the right. We will be flying SSTV on 145.600 MHz, Martin 1 mode. If you are able to capture any images, please send them to k2zro@kopernik.org.

Everyone is welcome to attend, as BARA gatherings are open to all, and the only prerequisite for joining us is an interest in Amateur Radio and fellowship within our local ham community. In place of our regular monthly meeting, we will be hosting our annual club picnic, providing an opportunity to enjoy good food, relaxed conversation, and time together in a casual setting while also sharing brief updates on upcoming activities and events.

Don't miss this opportunity to operate using the W1AW call sign. Operate from your own station and/or from the BARA Club Shack at Kopernik from Friday, August 28 thru Sunday, September 30. You can start reserving your time slots for day/time/band/mode as soon as you register. https://qsl.net/bara/w1aw2.pdf
