Saturday Breakfast

Every Saturday you will find a group of local hams “talking story” and sharing their experiences.  Discussions run from Ham Radio operation, emergency communications, DXing, contests, computers, repeaters, sailing, flying and any number of other topics.  Our numbers vary from as few as four to as many as twenty.  Like Forrest Gump says, “Life’s like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re going to get.” 

 

There is no membership, no dues and no license requirement. Anyone with an interest in radio is welcome to join us.   The gathering starts at 8:00 a.m. and goes for as long as the discussions last.  All you need to do is monitor 146.92 MHz or 147.16 MHz between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and you will hear the group mobiling to the restaurant.  Feel free join in and we can talk you into the parking lot.  Come join us!
