2025

Our next EARS club meeting is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, at the Springfield Justice Center in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Our presentation will be on Ham Radio Emergency Communications Go Boxes. You are an important part of this presentation and discussion as we have the opportunity to learn from each other. If you have a Ham Radio Go Box, please bring it to the meeting to share during the discussion. Big or small, just starting out or have a tried and true system, we will have the opportunity to share with each other. If you haven’t started your box yet, wonder what to include or why they’re important, bring your questions and hopefully you can get some answers during the discussion.

Upcoming presentations for EARS are currently being scheduled.  Please notify me if you have any topic or speaker suggestions.
