The repeater usually used for the BORED Net will be in use supporting the Ride to End ALS in the morning, so the 0900 BORED Net will be on the Grissom Repeater in Thousand oaks. 146.850, minus offset, and a PL tone of 94.8. The usual PVARC links won’t be available. This is the usual […]

It’s µFD time again 🙂 Once again at the Ventura County Fire Department’s training facility at the Camarillo Airport, and once again thanks to Dan Dicke KE6NYT. 11:00am to 3:00pm as always. This month, µFD is the same day as ARRL’s Rookie Roundup, and Ventura County Amateur Radio Society VCARS will be there with a […]

It’s on…µFD will be March 24th from 1100 to 1500 or so. Back again at the Ventura County Fire Department’s training ground at the Camarillo Airport. As always, µFD is open to EVERYONE, all hams, all clubs, all people with or without licenses interested in ham radio and having a good time with like-minded people. […]

You read that right…The BORED Net now has merch! Be the first on your block! Look like one of the Cool Kids! Visit TheBoredNet.printify.me and take a look. We’ll have a lot of new items (especially buttons) regularly, so check often. These items are printed and shipped to order. Unfortunately that means we won’t have […]

Micro Field Day is back again at the VCFD training center at the Camarillo airport, from 1100-1500 on Sunday, January 21. There’s a possibility of some rain, but nothing heavy predicted. Plus, last year we got POURED on at the airport and still had a great time. Keith will bring a couple of pop-up canopies. […]

Novemeber’s µFD was a success at the VCFD Training Center, so we’re going back. Temps will be in the 70s, wind will be mild, the sun will be shining…it’s almost unfair to have such nice weather four days before the winter solstice, isn’t it? Sunday the 17th, from 1100 to 1500 as usual. As always, […]

The BORED Net µField Day is ON for November! We weren’t able to get one in last month between my sudden trips out of town and availability of a suitable site, but the long wait is finally over thanks to Dan Dicke KE6NYT. Dan has arranged for the use of the Ventura County Fire Department’s […]

Keith, Ed and Zak have been working on this for the last 6 months, and it’s time to make it public. On August 31, 2024, we’ll be holding our first BORED Net Ham Radio µExpo! We’ll announce the location once contracts are signed…why tempt fate ;). This is going to be an event by and […]

The Ventura County Amateur Radio Club is co-hosting another µField day with us on September 30th. It’s a quadruple-header event…starting at 0830 with a VE Test Session hosted by the club in their meeting room in the Dudley House in Ventura. After the VE session, the club is having their annual picnic combined with the […]

Thanks to everyone who came out µFD in July! It was fantastic…in fact, so fantastic that we’ve outgrown the usual spot at Rancho Potrero. There were 14 stations operating, and over 50 people came by! CRPD has said we need permits to hold the event there in the future. This is certainly possible, but misses […]
