Renewal time is right around the corner for many so we want to add some incentive to make sure everyone still has access to HCOL.

Entering is BEYOND EASY!!!

Fox Hunt September 2023 (Front Page Promo)

The September Fox Hunt is fast approaching on the 30th at 9:30 AM following the club breakfast. We’ll be using a 1-watt “Baofox” on 146.565 Mhz so you may even be able to hear it at breakfast. Our fox hunts are family and pet friends, anyone can participate, and no license is required! If you’ve never done a fox hunt before, rusty, or if you don’t have radio direction finder equipment, ask to ride along with an experienced fox hunter.

SFARC is looking for members to help demonstrate amateur radio, can you help?

Saturday, October 7: At the Rocklin Maker Faire, the American Radio Relay League #ARRL, the National Association for Amateur Radio, will host an exhibit on the wonders of amateur radio.
