Join Us for Our Annual Social Lunch at Hayfork Bally Summit!

Calling all amateur radio enthusiasts! We invite you to join Trinity County Amateur Radio Club for our annual social lunch on June 28th at the beautiful Hayfork Bally summit. The event kicks off at 10:00 am and promises a day filled with exciting activities and camaraderie.

Bring lunch and hydration for yourself and any others that are in your group, along with extra for the others participating in the event. Bring your portable radio equipment and enjoy various activities including SSB, QRP, POTA chasing, a WinLink demonstration, and plenty of socializing with fellow HAM radio operators. Dress for the weather and don't forget to bring a pop-up or other shade structure if you can, as shade is scarce on the summit. Bring folding chairs and tables for your equipment. There is a toilet there. The building that houses the repeater will be opened so visitors can view the equipment. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other amateur radio enthusiasts, share experiences, and enjoy the hobby in a picturesque outdoor setting. We look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to TCARC

Trinity County is mostly mountains and forests. Over 70% of our County is either National Forest or BLM land.

Our TCARC is a growing club with a spike in membership post COVID and a number of Wildfires.

We are made up of very friendly people of all ages and both male and female. We all have our own reasons for being Hams and TCARC members. Each of us has our special interest in Ham Radio, from "rag chewing" to "QRP" to "buiding radios" to HF "contesting" and a lot of other reasons, including "public service" and "emergency Communications".

 

TCARC Meetings
 

Our TCARC meetings are held on the second Thursday of each and every month. The meetings start at 1830hrs. (6:30 PM) and usually end around 2000 hrs. (8:00 PM). Currently our meetings are at the Trinity County Office of Education, located at 201 Memorial Drive, Weaverville. Our meetings can also be attended via ZOOM. If you are not on our mailing list, you can get the ZOOM information by emailing us.

 

TCARC Weekly Net
 

The TCARC Weekly Net takes place every Thursday at 7:30 PM (1930 hrs), except on the second Thursday of each month. This is also our weekly TC-ARES check-in. The net takes place on our TCARC 2 Meter Repeaters on Bully Choop and Hayfork Bally. 

These are directed nets, meaning the Net Control Station (NCS) calls on regular participants by name and call sign, followed by late/missed members and guests. After check-ins, the NCS invites any traffic of interest. Learn more about nets and how to participate.

Anyone may listen, but only FCC-licensed Amateur Radio Operators may transmit..
