For the last three years, the BORED Net Group has been holding out monthly µField Day (say “Micro Field Day”) in Ventura County, where hams from all over can get together for informal portable ops and club-agnostic camaraderie. And now we’re stepping it up a notch…on August 31, 2024, we’ll be holding our first Ham Radio µExpo! This is in collaboration with the Cal State Channel Islands Amateur Radio Interest Group, and will be held on the CSUCI campus.
The BORED Net Group µExpo will be a dynamic and engaging event designed for all enthusiasts of amateur radio, licensed or not. It will feature an array of booths and displays from clubs all over the Central Coast, offering attendees the opportunity to explore all the diverse interests and options within the hobby. Among the activities planned are:
Speakers and seminars by local experts and online Personalities
Build Sessions
VE Examination session
SOTA activities, including an expedition
Technical demonstrations and equipment testing
Exhibits by many Santa Barbara Section clubs and interest groups
AREDN Mesh, the ham radio internet
Tours of the CSUCI Radio Room
µField Day right on site
And much more!
Highlighting the µExpo will be the ARRL Santa Barbara Section annual meeting, where members can discuss important matters, share updates, and collaborate on future initiatives. This comprehensive gathering will serve as a platform for hobbyists to connect, learn, and contribute to the amateur radio community.
And best of all…admissions is FREE!
