2024 ARRL Field Day
Theme: Be Radio Active The theme for 2024 ARRL Field Day is "Be Radio Active." The event will run on June 22 - 23, and it will be one-part contest, one-part emergency communications exercise, and one-part open house -- and a great time. The theme encourages radio amateurs to take advantage of the peak of Solar Cycle 25, which we are nearing. Activity this year is likely to be extremely high thanks to favorable solar conditions. The upper HF bands, such as 15 and 10 meters, should benefit most from the Cycle's peak. Weekend of June 22 - 23 @ March Field Air Museum |

January 4th, 2024 MVARA Club Meeting
MVARA is celebrating its first year of ham radio testing!
There has been 50+ exams given in the last year and multiple examinees have come back to take more than one element with us! Two have been able to pass all three of the elements using our exam sessions and we feel honored to have them choose MVARA to help them achieve their goals. It goes without mentioning that all of this could not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the MVARA Volunteer Examiners and the great coaching that we have received from the folks at GLAARG! Here's to another successful year of helping hams get into the hobby and getting on the air!!!
2024 FCC Exam Sessions are posted!
