🎅 Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Don't forget to join our Christmas day net at 10:00 on 145.400Mhz (or thereabouts)
Don't worry if you can't make the nominated start time as the net usually goes on for about an hour with members calling in and out throughout.
Please keep your transmissions short so that others won't have to wait too long before they get a chance to say hello.

CARA-On-The-Air Thursday 2nd July
Special VE Day Nets – Report
As we are not allowed to get out and about to activate Summits, or Parks, or Museums, or Churches & Chapels or whatever, it’s been suggest that we could activate our gardens, so “Gardens-on-the-Air” (GOTA) has been born.
Look out for CARA members on GB3CG or 145.400MHz or 50.220MHz, on HF 28.450MHz or may even on 1.930MHz
Activate your garden using portable, mobile, or handheld equipment from 10.30am onwards today.
Or just see how many gardens you can work!
Meeting currently taking place on GB3CG should anyone wish to join us!
