On the second Saturday of each month, local ham radio operators normally meet at the Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton at the lower parking lot to operate, show off their gear and test ham radio related equipment. The event starts at noon. 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.
