Our club has existed for over 40 years, promoting the hobby of amateur radio. We have monthly membership meetings that include presentations about various aspects of the hobby. An American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Technical Specialist and others are available to answer questions about any area of amateur radio. We offer training classes and testing sessions to help beginners in the hobby get started. Our 146.880 MHz repeater is one of the best repeaters in Eastern Washington with coverage of Spokane County and surrounding areas. Our weekly net is on Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm on that repeater. See the "Club systems" link for information regarding our other systems that include support for packet and digital voice. We participate in yearly activities such as Bloomsday, the Lilac Parade, and Field Day.

Meetings:

Our next VHF Club meeting is Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 6:30 pm at Spokane Community College Building 6 (The Lair), room 004. Dan Croskrey, NV2Z, will present on GPS Coordinates, explaining what the various GPS formats are, how to convert them, and how to avoid getting lost. Why does this matter? If you are calling in an emergency report, you may not get first responders to the location where they are needed since they may be using a different GPS format. Also, first responders may respond to the GPS in your cell phone if you are calling in a report on an emergency, rather than to the location down the road where they are needed. Join us and learn to navigate with greater precision.

Monthly Club Meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of the month at 6:30.  Held at Spokane Community College, the LAIR "Building 6" Room 004.. Easiest parking is P1 there are Handicap spot near the LAIR. The meeting room is in Room 004 downstairs, an elevator is available.
