Borderline Amateur Radio Club is proud to sponsor this entry level Amateur Radio licensing course. The course is taught by Erik Larson, AD7OV, and covers everything you will need to know in order to obtain your Technician amateur radio license. Erik has taught this course for the club now for two years, and each course has had great attendance. Many of those in attendance have earned their General license at the testing session held after this class. Because of the popularity and demand for this course, Erik has decided to teach a second course this year.

When: Saturday June 26 thru Sunday June 27

Where: Donkey Flat, near Redfleet Dam

Uintah Basin “hams” will join with thousands of Amateur Radio operators who will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events worldwide.

During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham Radio” - was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property.
