We meet at the Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 8600 Academy Rd NE (SE corner of Academy & Moon).  We start gathering about 6:00 PM, start the meeting at 6:30 and must be out of there by 8:30 so the night watchman can lock up the church.  If you have never attended before, please park in the rear of the church, enter through the single door back there, walk all the way down the hallway and you will hear us. We hope to see you there!

- 2025-26 Summary: Amateur Radio Caravan Club -

As the Amateur Radio Caravan Club approaches the end of its fiscal year in October, we reflect on a busy year. The club’s 90 paid members support three repeaters on Sandia Crest, including a new digipeater. Monthly programs feature informative speakers, except in January, when the club holds its Winterfest Banquet at a local restaurant. Other annual activities include the New Mexico QSO Party in April, Field Day in June, the Corn Feed in September, and Radio Fun in the Park on the second and fourth Saturdays from May through September. Club member Ken KO5Y also hosts several summer tailgates. The popular Scat Net keeps the local amateur radio community informed from 6 to 8 a.m., six days a week, as does the club website at www.caravanradio.org.
