Club Activities
UARC Information Net
UARC holds a net every Sunday evening to disseminate information related to amateur radio. The UARC Information Net is held every Sunday evening at 8:30 P.M. 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.Field Day
UARC participates in the annual Field Day held on the fourth Saturday of June and the following Sunday each year. Field Day is the world's largest amateur radio contest and is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League. The 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 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 read more about our 2024 Field Day in a Microvolt spot.
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 12 at the
Spruces Campground
site GRP7, starting 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 participate in Winter Field Day in 2025,
probably for the first time. Similar to Field Day, it's a 24-hour stretch of making
contacts with as many others as possible, just not nearly as formal.
For 2025, Winter Field Day runs from noon Saturday January 25 through noon Sunday January 26,
the location TBD.
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.
