Activate local grids through individual and group rover operations.

Have fun doing it.

Contesting

Occasionally, our group gets together for VHF/UHF contests from the " Radio Farm. We can often be heard signing with our club call, N0MA. Unfortunately, on some occasions we will use a call we have forced from one of our members and we will use it for the contest. If you hear us on the air, give us a call and we would be more then happy to work you.

Here is a list of upcoming contests that the Radio Farm or one or more of our members may be participating in.
