Amateur radio enthusiasts will be flocking to Steveston this Saturday for the Richmond Amateur Radio Club’s (RARC) Discover Amateur Radio seminar at the Steveston Community Centre.
According to RARC, the seminar brings together experienced radio amateurs to share topics of interest with local radio operators from the local amateur radio community, newly licensed hams who want to learn more about the hobby and the interested public who want to discover the pastime.
The day-long event goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will involve concurrent sessions using two rooms to accommodate a more extensive agenda.
Admission is $5, payable at the door, to help cover room rental and beverage expenses.
“The seminar provides a unique forum for the local amateur radio community to come together and share knowledge and experiences in a face-to-face environment,” said Urey Chan, founder and organizer of the event.
“The presentations and discussion panels enable experienced ‘hams’ to interact with those interested in learning more about the hobby, therefore, cultivating a stronger foundation for the future of amateur radio.”
The agenda ranges from how-to topics for newly licensed hams, latest technology developments in amateur radio, and current trends in how amateur radio serves the local community.
