Part show-and-tell, part maker fair, part operating event, the in-person RARS Gathering on the fourth Tuesday of each month is the place to be if you want to find out about the local ham community, meet other ham radio operators, see hands on demos of old and new ham radio equipment, get on the air, and exchange ideas in a fun forum.
Members and non-members are welcome....
The meeting starts at 7:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall, but we start setting up at 6:00 pm, and
you are welcome to bring your own ham radio equipment and projects to demonstrate, show off, or
just work on with other like-minded hams -- we have plenty of tables.
You might also find sources of coax, connectors, zip cord, Powerpoles®, and whatnot.
For more information about The Gathering, please contact Tadd Torborg KA2DEW.
The RARS Volunteer Examiner Team conducts license exams at The Gatherings in even-numbered months.
You do not need to be a RARS member to test with us.
Exams start promptly at 6:00 pm so applicants can attend The Gathering, afterwards.
Please see our License Classes and Exams page
for important information, including the exam requirements.
Preregistration is preferred and may be done by submitting the
registration form on this page
(select the Ridge Rd location and date).
For more information about RARS license exams, please
