285 TechConnect Radio Club — NAØTC

The 285 TechConnect Radio Club - NAØTC was formed in 2006 by Steve - AIØW (SK), Jim - KAØNZZ, and Nancy - KØNNC (SK) to provide a forum for technical discussions, presentations, and projects. We are an ARRL Affiliated Club.

We 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 and we love helping folks new to the hobby!

Our annual TechFest, a club tradition since 2006, was held on November 2nd! We had 5 great presentations and they are available for replay for your enjoyment. 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.
