Upcoming General Membership Meetings and Club Events:
Monday, June 19, 2023 — Ted, WA2HKS, will show us what is available in “Ultra Low Cost, High Performance Ham and Electronic Test Equipment.” Those of a certain age will recall shocking costs of lab-grade test gear, but thanks to advanced technology equivalent devices are available for a mere fraction of those heart-stopping costs we remember.
Monday, July 17, 2023 — Annual BARRA Mobile Clinic and Picnic at the Cole Road repeater site. Bring your grillables and a lawn chair and enjoy a summer evening with us. Rain date is the following Monday, July 24th.
Technical Committee meetings have resumed! Meetings are held at the BOCES school, per below.
Technical Committee
BARRA’s Technical Committee is comprised of members who work with and on our repeater equipment and facilities in which our equipment is housed. The Tech Committee meets the first Thursday of every month (with the exception of summer, holidays or school closures that fall on meeting days) in the conference room (just inside the main door) of the BOCES Potter Road Career and Technical Center, 705 Potter Road, West Seneca, NY on the corner of Slade, Potter and Orchard Park Roads. Meetings begin at 7:00 PM and usually conclude with adjournment to a local restaurant for munchies. All BARRA members of all technical abilities are welcome to join the Technical Committee at any time.
SPECIAL NOTE: Summer meetings (July & August) of the Technical Committee are held at the Cole Road repeater site, not the school.
