PMRC Radio Labs
September 13th 2025
10am to 2pm
Location: Willow Grove Giant - Community Room (same as meeting location)
This month’s Radio Lab will focus on APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) – a digital mode that combines ham radio with live data exchange. APRS is used to share location, short text messages, weather, and telemetry in real-time, often over VHF/UHF frequencies.
We’ll cover:
What APRS is and how it works.
How to configure your handheld and mobile radios for APRS
Sending and receiving APRS messages (including email & SMS via gateways)
Using APRS.fi and mobile apps to view live maps and activity
Common applications like mapping, messaging, and event support
Gateways and how APRS integrates with the internet (APRS-IS)
See: September PMRC Radio Labs Info (Groups.io)

POTAMANIA
September 20th 2025
8am to ?
Location:Fort Washington State Park - PAVILLION MHL-1
The fun doesn't have to stop because field day is over, in fact, without the rules, even more phun can be had! Come join us to play radio again
at Fort Washington State Park (Pavillion MHL-1). Bring your gear, bring some food, and bring your sense of fun.
We'll be firing up the radios, maybe cooking a few hot dogs, and making plenty of contacts. Never tried Parks on the Air (POTA) before? Now’s
the perfect time to check it out. No pressure, just a great chance to learn and have fun.
Fort Washington State Park is a carry-in, carry-out park. Please be respectful of the space and take your trash with you.
Everyone is welcome! Just show up and join us for an incredible day of radio, nature, and great company!
