The 285 TechConnect Radio Club - NAØTC was formed in 2006 by Steve - AIØW, Jim - KAØNZZ, and Nancy - KØNNC to provide a forum for technical discussions, presentations, and projects. We are an ARRL Affiliated Club.
We want to provide a wide-range of learning for people interested in the technical and operating areas of ham radio to increase knowledge and license levels and provide a forum for technical learning and sharing of information. Everyone is welcome!
We are pleased to announce the 2024 Techfest is coming up November 2nd! We have 5 great presentations for your enjoyment and education. Please visit the TechFest page for details and updates.
Please join us every Tuesday evening at 7PM on the CRA 145.145 repeater for the TechNet on-air discussion.
