From the March 27, 2025 “The ARRL Letter:”
| We’re only days away from April and ARRL’s month-long Ham Radio Open House (HROH). Radio clubs, schools, and other groups that operate a shared ham radio station are urged to join the nationwide event to raise the visibility of amateur radio and related technology. April is also Science Citizen Month, and April 18 is World Amateur Radio Day. It’s also the 100th anniversary of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), making the month a perfect backdrop for engaging the public in an introduction to ham radio. While the Shenandoah Valley Amateur Radio Club has not (at the time of this post) scheduled an open house, we welcome inquiries for touring our clubhouse and learning about the hobby of amateur radio. Use the CONTACT PAGE to reach out. Guests are always welcome at our meetings twice a month: first and third Thursday at 7:30pm at the clubhouse on 2925 Grace St., Winchester, VA 22601. Look for the little house with the tower and antennas in the yard. |
