Panama City ARC is launching Beginners Academy. Our goal is to help new hams get started in the hobby. Our club members have volunteered to give short talks and demos on amateur radio topics for beginners. These talks will be on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 6 PM. However, for January, they will be on the 4th and the 5th Wednesdays. You do not have to be a member of our club or licensed to attend.
Our first talk is on January 22nd, 6 PM, at the Panama City ARC Clubhouse. The talk will be 21 Things to Do After You Get Your Amateur Radio License, adapted with permission from the book of the same name authored by Dan Romanchik, KB6NU.
Ham Radio has come to the forefront since Hurricane Michael. Bay County Amateurs formed an Amateur Radio Emergency Organization, see baycountyares.org. Also, visit www.w4ryz.org for club announcements.
