Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email wm3pen@arrl.net to ask where the next meeting is held, then come to the third Wednesday meeting at 7:30 pm..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Meetings are open to anyone interested in amateur radio, and visitors are welcome. The site does not say how long a meeting runs or where it meets in person, so ask first. The Thursday net is a radio gathering where participants bring questions, news, and stories from their hobby.
Tips for your first visit
- The site gives only a mailing address, so email before you go to confirm the meeting place.
- The homepage has noted months with a restaurant meeting or a Zoom meeting, so check it first.

- To join, print the membership form from the club's membership page and bring it to a meeting or mail it to the club.
