The Columbia Amateur Radio Club

The Columbia Amateur Radio Club be participating in the Columbia Mini Maker Fair on Saturday, June 1, at EdVenture.

The current plan is to have 3 tables set-up at the Faire. One for making Morse code bracelets, one for working on Morse code via oscillators, and one as an exhibit for ham radio homebrew equipment and antennas.

Several of you have already been contacted regarding homebrew items that we’ve built in the past and QSL cards for the exhibit table. We want to make this a really interesting exhibit, so we need things that will appeal to kids of all ages.

CARC will again host Field Day this year at the Sesquicentennial State Park amphitheater and all are welcome.

We would love to have you stop by and visit and participate in the single most popular amateur radio event in the US and Canada whether you are a seasoned contester and DX’er or you are new to the hobby or even interested in getting your license. We will have several HF stations setup operating all modes (SSB, CW, and Digital) which will be a good time for those that have never experienced HF amateur radio to see what one can do with some “wire strung in a tree”. We expect to contact all 50 states and all the provinces in Canada in a 24 hour period.
