Today’s pick is right up the road from us. The Vienna Wireless Society is one of the largest and most active amateur radio clubs in Northern Virginia, and they make it easy to get involved. You don’t need a license to join, and you don’t even have to live in the area.
The club meets at 7:30 pm on the second Friday of every month, and the meetings are open to everyone: a short business session, then a program on some part of the hobby. Many talks are recorded and posted on their YouTube channel. If you like to build, check out their Maker Team, which shares member projects in test equipment, antennas, QRP rigs and mobile installs. They also have smaller groups that meet weekly, like their Weird & Wacky Digi Mode group.
Next up: their annual business meeting on Friday, November 13 at 7:30 pm at Oakton High School in Vienna, with a Zoom option too.
