Education and Training information is for folks looking for help to earn or upgrade their license, learn about Amateur Radio, and get help with Ham Radio questions.
The 2020 Dayton Hamvention has been canceled, but you still have the opportunity to attend Contest University from the comfort of your QTH! The organizers of Contest University will be holding a free Virtual Contest University via Zoom on May 14th.
Contest University is a full day of educational presentations. The world’s most skilled contesters share their knowledge. You will learn not just how to operate in a contest but skills that are useful for all ham radio operators:
How to improve your station
All about propagation and when to operate to get the most and most distant contacts
Information on setting up your digital station and operating digital modes,
What are the best performing transceivers based on testing by Rob Sherwood, NC0B
And much more!
Fred, AB1OC, and I have been attending Contest University for many years and we learn something new every time. Contest University is highly recommended for our Student/Teacher Contesters as well as all of our members.
I wanted to post a very brief primer on how to set up NetLogger at your station if you are going to run a net.
Stations not running a net should also download and try NetLogger. It really enhances everyone’s experience when joining (or running) an over-the-air net.
We have some excellent speakers planned for our April and May meetings and they will share live presentations and conduct Q&A online. The Nashua Area Radio Society will also be conducting an after-meeting net on 40m after our April and May Meetings and Tech Nights.

Abby Finchum, AB1BY – A NARS Net Control Operator Running a Special Event
CQ All Hams! The Nashua Area Radio Society will hold our new after meeting nets on or around 7.260 MHz LSB. We will post an update on the final frequency here just before our nets begin. We hope that these nets will give our members and guests a chance to communicate and socialize with each other. Folks who join us for the preceding online meetings will also be able to monitor the after meeting nets via the online share.
