The Massasoit Amateur Radio Association will hold an open house on April 26, 2025 at the Bridgewater Public Library, 15 South Street in Bridgewater from 10 AM until 3 PM.
Weather permitting, club members will set up a station outside in back of the library near the pavilion. In the event of inclement weather, the Judith Gabriel Room will be used.
“We hope to set up a HF Parks On The Air (POTA) station which is a ham radio activity to establish contacts with parks all over the US. We will also have portable radio go-kits and should have at least one of them talking to the local repeater.”
The group also intends to distribute flyers with information about amateur radio and, possibly, have a portable solar power supply on hand for the radios. The equipment will showcase how amateurs can communicate in situations where power, phone and internet are unavailable.
