We'll be learning about and exploring some new radio modes/types including some non-ham frequencies you can listen to to track airplanes and listen to Air Traffic Control.

We'll be holding a hidden radio transmitter scavenger hunt, know by hams as a "fox hunt" in Crockett Park. This is a great way to learn about a practical use of radio and have some fun hanging out with out 4-H youth and hams in the local area.

We'll be taking a break from STEM and radio and enjoying some team building games during this year's holiday party.

Using internet connected software defined radios, you can listen to shortwave radio around the world. This includes not only amateur and broadcast (AM/FM) radio, but many other interesting signals. For this meeting we'll be having fun with a game of bingo seeing which team can find some of those signals first.

This year's escape room with be related to emergency communication in ham radio. From weather alerts and SHYWARN, to ARES and hurricane nets.

At our meeting we'll learn more about the Virginia QSO Party, and plan our station for the event that weekend.

Time to practice some more soldering skills. We'll be having some fun soldering small electronics kits that the can be taken home when they're done.

"Height is Might" when it comes to VHF radios. The higher you can get, the farther you can talk. Summits on the Air takes this concept and joins it with hiking to score points for activating hills/mountains by making contacts with other hams from the summit.

Interested in 3D printing and what you can do with it? One of our 4-H youth will be presenting on their experience and some of their favorite things with 3D printing.

Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.
