Club Activities
UARC Information Net
UARC holds a weekly net to disseminate information related to amateur radio. The UARC Information Net is held every Sunday evening at 8:30 pm on the club's 146.620 MHz repeater. The net includes announcements of UARC activities, Newsline, ARRL Bulletins, a listing of other clubs and nets, and a roundtable where people with questions or problems can seek out those with answers.Utah 76ers Net
The "76ers" hold a weekly social net to connect with friends to share and announce amateur radio activities and events. The Utah 76ers Net is held every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm on the club's 146.760 MHz repeater. This informal net includes announcements of upcoming activities, gathering proposals, and a roundtable where people with questions or problems can seek out those with answers. To join, email utah76ers@gmail.com with your request to join, including your name, call sign, and city, and you'll be added to the roll!Field Day
UARC participates in the annual Field Day held each year on the fourth Saturday and Sunday of June. Field Day is the world's largest amateur radio contest and is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League. Its purpose is to give operators as much opportunity as possible to experience emergency-type operating conditions: a quickly-set-up station in the field, continuous operation through the night, and on emergency or backup power.UARC usually sets up one or more stations as part of the event. This is typically done from a site in the mountains, appropriate for a family get-together and camp out. You can see photos from our 2025 Field Day in the August 2024 issue of Microvolt.
Annual Steak Fry
UARC's big event of the year is the
Annual Steak Fry, usually
held on a Saturday in July.
The event includes a swap-meet, a steak dinner, and awards.
For 2025, the Annual Steak Fry will be held on Saturday July 19 at the
Spruces Campground
site GRP7. Some of us will show up around 2:00 pm to start setting up, then start cooking around 3:00 pm.
Homebrew night
Each year, we get together for a night to show off what we had built during the past year,
such as an antenna or hidden transmitter attenuator. It's your chance to share your skills
and handiwork with the rest of the membership.
Homebrew Night is during our regular October club meeting night, for 2025 it'll be 7:30 pm on October 9
in the Warnock Building.
Winter Field Day
Apart from the ARRL Field Day, we plan to
eventually participate in Winter Field Day, but not in 2025. As a leadership, we've decided that it's best this
year to encourage our membership to join the event with other clubs that are already participating.
Similar to Field Day, it's a 24-hour stretch of making
contacts with as many others as possible, just not quite as formal.
For 2025, Winter Field Day runs from noon Saturday January 25 through noon Sunday January 26.
Spring Potluck Dinner
We had a great potluck dinner on Thursday 13 March 2025 at 6:30 pm.
More such dinners are planned for the future, maybe even in both fall and
spring. The location of the dinner in March 2025 was the
Salt Lake County Facilities Management cafeteria,
2001 S State St, room S1-100, just inside the doors to the South Building.
It's across the street from O.C. Tanner, if that helps. We've
posted a signup sheet here.
This could be the start of an annual tradition!
Field trips
Let's take a trip to Leamington, Utah! Every so often, we need to update the site or make repairs, and that gives us an excuse to make a day out of the excursion, and travel outside our comfort zone, to a slightly more distant comfort zone.
Fall Potluck Dinner
We had such a great potluck dinner in March 2025, that we've decided to repeat that fun event with another one, this time on Thursday 11 September 6:30 pm at the same location, the Salt Lake County Facilities Management cafeteria, 2001 S State St, room S1-100, just inside the doors to the South Building. It's across the street from O.C. Tanner, if that helps. We'll post a signup sheet as the date draws near.
