- May 8th Meeting -

John Mocho KC5QOC and Ed Poccia KC2LM gave a detailed presentation on how to use the NA6D All In One Cable (AIOC) with Baofeng HTs to communicate using digital applications. Additionally, Ed showed portions of his presentation on Field Programming Baofeng HTs. Both of these presentations may be viewed by clicking on Presentations.

We meet the second Friday evening of the month at the Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 8600 Academy Road NE, on the southeast corner of Academy and Moon streets in northeast Albuquerque. This is a great opportunity to meet other members, learn about upcoming events, and hear presentations on a variety of interesting topics. We normally start gathering around 6:00 PM, with the meeting scheduled to begin at 6:30. We meet in a classroom on the south side back of the church. Enter via the single walkin door and go down the hall. You will hear us as you get close. Meetings are concluded by 8:30 so we can vacate so the night watchman can secure the building.

- Radio Fun In The Park -

The first session of this year’s Radio Fun In The Park was held at Sister Cities Park on May 9th. There were five portable systems set up and eight hams present. Additionally, there were a couple of casual visitors that were attracted and came by to see what we were doing. Radio Fun In The Park will continue on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month. We normally set up around 9:00 AM. Check this web site periodically to find the latest information.

- Amateur Extra Class -

The Frank Warren Instructor Group has announced that it will be teaching an Amateur Extra class, its first ever, this year. The dates are October 10th and 11th and then October 17th and 18th of 2026 and they have reserved the Clubhouse of the Vineyards 55+ Mobile Home Community at 6118 Edith Blvd NE in Albuquerque. This is the same location where they held the last several class sessions. The times available to them are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, just like before.

More importantly, they believe they have found a way that they can add half-again as much material (600 questions instead of 400 questions) into the same 32 hours. However, due to the complexity of the Amateur Extra requirements, all students are expected to put in six months of study, including practice exams, prior to the class. For more details, Click Here. If you are still considering enrolling, call lead instructor Larry Goga AE5CZ at his home phone number 1-505-293-5866, and please leave a message. Also, given the preparation time for this new class, the Group will not be teaching Technician nor General classes this year.
