ISRA Calendar

Our purpose is to advance the radio art and skills, help club members and others, and have fun doing it. 

We meet weekly on our 2 meter net, and monthly in person at our club meetings. Feel free to participate.

Club Update: 

Greetings,

We had a good meeting last night (Sept 25, 2025).  The presentation topic was Radio Emergency Communications.  Since this is National Preparedness Month, that was probably an appropriate topic.  It was focused on VHF and above frequencies but primarily VHF.  It talked about how I am preparing to have radios both available and pre-programmed with appropriate repeater and simplex frequencies in case of emergency.  I showed attendees my version of an emergency “gobox” and a portable repeater I put together using two Baofeng radios. The presentation also included a discussion about CB, FRS, GMRS and MURS, talking about those radio services and their capabilities (or lack thereof).  We finished up around 8:00 PM.
Next month, Dale will be running the meeting as I will be out of town.  The topic next month is scheduled to be Grounding and Bonding given by Tom, W7ZID.  The date for the next meeting is 23 October.  7:00 PM at Idaho Pizza Company on Glenwood.  

Again a Reminder: we have a weekly ISRA Club Radio Net on Sunday nights at 7:00 PM.  All are welcome to check in.  The ISRA Repeater is 146.94 with a PL of 100.  We look forward to hearing you on the air!
