Hi all, Just getting started in the wonderful world of amateur radio. I purchased ARRL technical manual and I am study for the test. Does anyone know is there are any in person classes for the Technical license also I purchased a hand held radio to listen to the amateur bands and the repeater however, all is quiet.
Is there regular traffic on the amateur bands?

Interesting direction.. Using these hobby programming kits in Ham Radio - thousands are using them for all sorts of uses. Hey everyone. Just a brief video I made for connecting up an Arduino board to a QRP transmitter to make a little beacon. Some time ago I made mention of want...
Thanks to everyone who participated in JOATA 2018! We had a great time with CW, SSB, FT8, & DMR stations.
Good morning everyone. Today while programming my DMR Radio, I noticed that there is one DMR Repeater in Sioux Falls. Is this a standalone repeater or is this linked nationally and if so, what are the talkgroups on it so I can program it to my Radio.
Thanks!
Tomorrow is the day for our 2018 Swap Meet! Join us in Tea to buy, sell, trade, upgrade or just catch up with friends.

SEARC Swap Meet 2018 – July 21st
w0zwy.org
Summer Swap Meet Held on the Saturday of Jazz Fest, July 21st from 9:00 – 12:00, SEARC sponsors our annual swap meet at the Marlin’s Restaurant / Roadway Express Truck Stop off of the T…I've been inactive on the air waves for a while. Now that I have a little more free time, I'll probably fire back up a radio, maybe try to hit a meeting once and a while (kid activity duty permitting). I noticed from the SEARC website that W0FSD(223.86) repeater shows inactive. Just curious why and if it maybe restored to active operation again any time soon (or not). Thanks, W0BAE
