Ham Radio

On July 15th, the Red River Radio Amateurs continued a summer event to showcase portable radio operation at the city park in Sabin, Minnesota. The weather for the event was a mixed bag, with temperatures bordering on too cold for July, some sprinkles of rain, and a thick haze from wildfire smoke. Despite all that, the event was well attended. On display were several portable antenna setups, POTA rigs, and base stations brought out by club members.

ARRL Field Day 2025 is now in the history books. The Red River Radio Amateurs once again activated W0ILO as class 3A from the Cass County Highway Department in West Fargo, N.D. We had 22 folks on our sign-in sheet at the end of the event, including some who were visiting us for the first time to see what ham radio was all about. A big thank you to Chuck, KE0MW, for doing a great job with our media outreach during the event.
