Our Newest Net

Our newest net called "Shop-Talk" debuted a few Sundays ago at 8pm, and so far has great participation! It is similar to "Danny's Dinner" as a laid-back chat room with no formal structure. You can ask any type of general questions on ham radio and know that you will get an answer from one or more of our members.

Past In-Person Event Highlights

2021 Annual Auction (this year on Zoom)-February 20

Well, we pulled it off!  I had no doubts, with Krissy, KI7GJJ, as our chairperson.  Click on the red button below, to see some of the pictures of our exchange between bidders and sellers.  The actual auction was conducted on Zoom.  Members can look for the article in the next ShortSkip newsletter.

2020 Spring Picnic & EmComm-March 7th

The weather was great, the burgers were grilled to perfection by Fred, K7WFP, so what else can I say?  Again, Gloria, W7GAP, did a wonderful job of organizing the picnic and we had a bit of EmComm on the side.  This is how you mix Social and Ham Radio!

2020 Annual Auction- February 3rd

I don't know about you, but I had a GREAT time!  You missed a lot of neat ham gear, if you missed our auction.  We had vintage radios, all the way up to brand-new-never-been-out-of-the-box radios.  We had plenty of estate sale items, Field Day hats, mugs and you name it!


This year, we had such a great group of volunteers, and our February Ham of the Month, Krissy Larson, KI7GJJ, did an excellent job as chairperson.  Thanks again to everyone who volunteered!

2019 Holiday Banquet-December 1st

This was a great way to end the year!  We had a very nice dinner, Bill, KA2KHV, "tickled the ivories" fantastic as usual!  We were sweetly serenaded by Dave, WA0ZVM, as he convinced others to join him in song, and the ladies did a wonderful job with the handing out of great door prizes!  Some members went to HRO for Christmas!

2019 Palo Verde Siren Test-November 13

A big thank you goes out to all involved with this event!  The sirens were tested twice, the food was great and this year the Emergency Alert System on our phone was tested.  Always a good time, 

visiting with hams I haven't seen for awhile.  No hams will be conducting the siren test in 2020.
