New to ham radio? The Youth/Newcomer area is the place to stop for information and activities that can help get you on your way into the world of amateur radio. In addition to activities in the youth/newcomer area, we can help you participate in the QRP QSO party (where you make contacts using low power with compromised antennas) and make some contacts around the country (and maybe the world) at the Get on the Air station.
The Stillwater Amateur Radio Association will be operating a Get on the Air Station at this year’s convention. Whether you are an experienced operator or new to the hobby, stop by and get on the air and make some contacts!
