Once again this year the ACRC will have a portable HF station running at Sunrise Park, 6918 Sunrise Dr. in Lino Lakes on Halloween, October 31 from 9AM to 3PM.  Come out and make contacts with other stations around the world to celebrate the holiday.  This year we do plan to have indoor contingencies available in case of unfavorable weather...  

Hams in the park

Written by Tim Neu

On the second Saturday of each month, local ham radio operators normally meet at the Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton   to operate, show off their gear and test ham radio related equipment.   The event starts at noon.   The next date for this event is October 11, 2025.   This is an event of interest to ACRC members, but is not an ACRC event.    Hope to see you there!

Club Events

Several time a year the ACRC helps out at events like parades, festivals, fun runs, fire works and more.  These events tend to be fun and several are great family events.  There is nothing like having a guaranteed front row seat at a fireworks event or parade.  Check out the Calendar Page for more information.

General Meetings

You do not need to be a member to attend and family members of all ages are welcome.  Each meeting will have a different topic for the month.  There are ten General Meetings from January through June and again from September through December.  We take the summer months off while everyone tend to be really busy having fun in the warm weather.  General Meetings are normally held on the first Friday of the month, starting at 7:00 p.m.  To view the minutes from these meetings, click on the Club Documents link.

Repeater

We sponsor a two-meter repeater at 146.670 MHz (114.8 PL tone).  For more details on the club's repeater, please check out the Repeater page..
