When the Voice Com and Breakfast Net are active, the DMR TG-311037 will also be used to check in stations. This will help stations who are having difficulty hitting the 145.29 analog machine. The following are the details for these two nets.
USE ANALOG AND DMR TO CHECK IN
BRARA 145.29- PL110.9 BRARA DMR TG-311037
BRARA 442.875+ CC-1 TS-2

2022 SUMMER FIELD DAY
The BRARA Board asked for volunteers to coordinate the 2022 Summer Field Day.
Since there were none, and the event has different rules than WFD, the board decided to look into how the event could be handled from the shack. Please watch for updates. If you would like to step in and be the coordinator, please let any board member know.
The Gold Coast Amateur Radio Association holds a test session on May 14, 2022. The session will start promptly at 10:30 am. If you would like to participate, RSVP using the above "Testing Details" button, it allows us to prepare the necessary paperwork in advance. Walk-ins are also welcome.
The April exercise was well attended. Please view the AAR and the next exercise on June 4th 2022 at 11am.
