Check into the April 16 ARRL Sacramento Valley Section Nets VHF NetAll Amateur Radio Operators are invited to check in on our Section VHF Net. Listen carefully to Net Control for which order to check in. Typically we will ask for Section Appointees (Section assistants and county Emergency Coordinators), then club presidents, ARRL members, and finally everyone.We may also be waiting for an existing Net to finish before we start our Net. If so, you can check in as a guest of the preceeding Net, or simply wait until Section Net if you like.HF NetOur HF Net will usually be on the 75m or 80m bands for NVIS propagation. Occasionally we may try one of the 60m channels as an experiment.If your license does not permit operating on those bands, or you do not have an HF transceiver, or if you have a hard time hearing all of the stations, you can use two convenient Software Defined Radios (SDRs) available via the internet.arrlsacvalley.org/section-net/ … See MoreSee Less

All is ready for World Amateur Radio Day (WARD) 2026. Activity begins on Saturday, April 18, as amateur radio operators and their national societies worldwide celebrate the founding of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). It was on this day in 1925 that the IARU was formed in Paris, France. Hiram Percy Maxim, co-founder of ARRL, served as its first president. Since its founding, ARRL has served as the IARU International Secretariat. ARRL is encouraging radio clubs to use WARD or any time during the month of April to host a Ham Radio Open House… and there is still time to do that! Just set up a working amateur radio station anywhere to showcase your club’s station and promote amateur radio science and technology to the public. Check out ARRL’s Ham Radio Open House Station Locator at www.arrl.org/open-house. To date, 30 clubs have added their locations to the locator map, including California, Hawaii, and Iowa. Visit www.arrl.org/world-amateur-radio-day for ideas and activities to engage your community or school radio club in World Amateur Radio Day and Ham Radio Open House. … See MoreSee Less
