The talk will cover setting channels as well as other radio properties using Baofeng, Kenwood and Yaesu radios as examples.

This could be a good way of making sure your radio has not only your local ARES group's channels programmed, but also neighboring districts which you may need to interoperate with.

LARC is sponsoring an ARRL VE Exam Session this Saturday, December 12th, at 350 Terry Street in the Professional Building (on the southeast corner of Terry Street & 4th Avenue) in Longmont, zip 80501.   

It will begin at 10:00 a.m.  We are limited to 9 candidates in the testing room at a time due to the pandemic restrictions, so we will have first-come, first-served seating.  More people will be seated when seats open up as candidates complete their exams.   

To get on the Session Priority List, please fill out the Contact form at:  

http://w0eno.org/?q=contact.     The ARRL fee for this test session is $15.  

Or if you just show up, once the Priority List has been exhausted and seats become available, you will be seated for your Exam.  Masks and social distancing are required.
