The Nashua Area Radio Society will be hosting Amateur Radio Displays, Expos, and Forums at Regional and National Hamfests and Ham Radio Conventions over the next 6 months.

Dayton Hamvention ® 2019

We will be a Special Guest of the ARRL in their Booth at Dayton this year. You can learn more via the ARRL’s flyer here. Quite a few NARS members will be attending Dayton 2019 and many will be supporting our presence in the ARRL Booth. We will also be hosting the ARRL Member forum on Friday, May 17th in Room 3. If you are going to Dayton this year, stop by and meet our members and say Hello!

Boxboro Regional Amateur Radio Convention

We are also planning another Youth Expo at the Boxboro Regional Ham Convention to be held on September 6th, 7th, and 8th. Our Expo will feature over 10 Amateur Radio Displays including:

• A computer controlled  Satellite Ground Station that you can use to make a contact through a Satellite in Space
• A Shortwave Radio Station that you can use to talk to Hams all over the world
• A Display about High-Altitude Balloons that carry radio transmitters to the edge of space
• Keys and activities to try out sending and receiving Morse Code
• Building Ham Radio Gear using Kits and Computers
• A NEW ACTIVITY! A Ham Bootcamp Activity which introduces the world of Amateur Radio and helps folks to get on the air
• A GoKit for Amateur Radio Emergency Communications that you can try
• Gear for locating Hidden Radio Transmitters (we call it Fox Hunting)
• And much more!

We are looking for NARS members to help us with these activities. Please contact Anita at [email protected] if you’d like to help.

It’s going to be a great few months for the Nashua Area Radio Society!
