Thank you for stopping by. Please set your Favorite bookmark to this address to keep informed of the Clubs activities and future programs.  This page will be our SPLASH page with headline news you should be aware of.  Please check it often.
ARRL Field Day 2010:  Field Day 2010 is history.  Teams are now tallying up the scores and stowing the gear for the next great adventure.  "Team TBARC" has packed up and returned to the Phoenix area after another successful experience at "Papa's Place" in the outskirts of Flagstaff.  Israel Vicente has furnished a trove of photos of the outing and they can be viewed by selecting Field Day Gallery A: on the sidebar. Jim Puza added six photos from his cache.  Team "Two Delta AZ" was conspicuously absent this year with some regret.  You can check out that Field Day Special  in Gallery C.
Spring Social April 2010:  For those who may have missed it, I have included the photo Gallery for the Spring Picnic Social in the Park. Check out Gallery B for the photos.

The TBARC VHF/UHF net has moved from Wednesday night to Tuesday night at 7:30 PM. You can check in on either the 2-meter repeater located on John C. Lincoln Hospital - North Mountain, on 146.700 - 600 KHz 162.2 tone, or the 70 Cm repeater located on John C. Lincoln Hospital - Deer Valley on 446.150 -5M 100Hz tone. All are hams welcome.
