Club Week — November 1–8, 2025

10/30/2025

NARA Logo

While the main goal is to contact other clubs and exchange QSL cards, this uniquely designed on-the-air event goes far beyond that. It's about connection, community, and sharing the fun of amateur radio across every band.

Club Week:

Unlike a contest, Club Week isn't about points or logs — it's about participation and conversation. Clubs can operate from their club shack, a member's home, a park, or any public location. Set up your station, call CQ Club Week, and enjoy meeting operators from all over the country.

Participants should be ready to send and respond to QSL cards, making it a great opportunity to teach new hams about this timeless tradition.

Clubs Week is the perfect time for community outreach — host a mini field day, open house, or activation event, and show your community what amateur radio is all about.

Let's make the bands come alive during NARA Club Week, November 1–8!

Share your plans, event photos, or QSL cards in the comments. We can't wait to see what your club will come up with during this new annual event sponsored by us, The National Amateur Radio Alliance!

From the President's Desk. . .

Reflecting back on this year we have had many different presentations presented to the club, I hope you have learned from them all from many on prepping for water, food and power. All of which you will need in a disaster or SHTF situation, because if you can not feed water and have power, then you are unable to help others without providing for your own first.

We also had presentations on feedline and what results cheap or low grade feedline has on power loss at the antenna, then we had one on transmit audio, if they can not hear you, you will not be effective. And this last presentation will be about building your dream shack. I think you will gain some Insite into unique ways to plan your shack and some things that might save you from a disaster of your own.

73, Looking forward to our next meeting.

Bible Study Net

Calling all Hams – You are invited to join us for our very first Warriornotes Radio Fellowship & Bible Study this Sunday at 3:00pm Central on the K5CCL UHF Repeater 444.050 (RX) / 449.050 (TX), TSQL, PL Tone 136.5

We would love to have you be our very first check-ins on what we plan will be a weekly Bible Study. Please invite ham friends and family—and we always welcome non-hams as 3rd-party traffic under your station's direction.



What to expect:

Warrior Fellowship Church

Before the net: If you have time, please send an email to bryan.aho@gmail.com and I will add you to a mailing list to send you a copy of each week's Bible Lesson in PDF format so you can follow along during our study.

Warriornotes Radio Fellowship & Bible Study isn't associated with any church and is non-denominational. Also, we do not accept offerings—this net is run solely by volunteers. If the Lord does lead you to give, we suggest donations of food to your local Food Pantry.

We hope to hear you on the air!

73,
Bryan Aho, K9AHO
