March 13, 2026: IRC Meeting 6 meter tutorial by N4BAA (via Zoom)
March 14 at Fort Harrison State Park start at Noon.
The next Indianapolis Radio Club Parks on the Air (POTA) operating event will be Saturday, March 14 at Fort Harrison State Park. We plan to be on the air by noon with 2 HF stations. We will be set up at our normal spot, in front of the Visitor Center. Both stations will have 2 positions, one for the operator and one for a logger. We will be using the club’s callsign of W9JP, you will get credit for the QSOs you make. We’ll try to make sure the new operators get a chance to get on the air, but with 2 radios, anyone that wants to get on should be able to. We will be using the enclosed tent that the Brocks, KD9RUD and KD9RUE donated to the club with a propane heater available, as well. This event is open to everyone. We will have coffee, donuts, and water available for refreshments.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR MINI-MARATHON May 2nd
Amateur radio operators will enhance safety along the course route at mile markers and pit stops. On location time for all positions is 0630 with staggered releases once the end passes your location. Volunteers will need the ability to operate up to 6 hours so extra batteries will likely be needed. Follow the link at www.mcinares.org/publicservice/500mini to sign up.
