• Field Day 2024
• Hot RF Nights 2024 (Chairperson In Place)
• Fall Picnic 2024

I CAN HELP!
Even if you can’t be a chairperson for an event, please send us your information (no this does not sign you up).

The Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club remembers 9/11/2001.
May we never forget that defining September day.

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.

Participating ARRL Section clubs like SFARC will display amateur radio equipment, antennas, and DIY projects, Morse Code practice stations, and offer hands-on experiences for attendees to experience the creativity and thrill of amateur radio wireless technology and analog and digital communication at our on-site Special Event Station N6M.

It’s a great opportunity to show what’s great about this hobby.
