Lunch Bunch is open to all hams, aspiring hams, inquisitive non-hams, etc. We don't care, regardless of any, or no, club affiliation. It’s a Beer & Bull session, without the Beer. We’ll talk about radio and most any other subject that comes up.
Who sponsors this? NOBODY! It's just a gathering of hams, and there's always room for you. Inquires to Jack ny8d at arrl.net Cell: 616-438-1464. Heck, just show up!
MICHIGAN AMATEUR RADIO ALLIANCE SATURDAY BREAKFAST IS BACK!
Members and friends of MARA regularly gather on Saturday mornings for breakfast. This has been well attended for years, and is a favorite time to gather outside of the formal monthly meetings and other events. We gather by 8:00 in the morning, at New Beginnings, 5200 Northland Dr NE, Grand Rapids (where Plainfield and E Beltline meet). Map: https://goo.gl/maps/8N9biJQ8MkXYX61P9
When attendance is predicted to be low, an email is sent to probable attendees that the gathering will be postponed. Unless an email is sent, it is assumed that breakfast is still on. If you would like to be in the breakfast loop, please email our Webmaster. This gathering is open to anyone wishing to join us for good food and good conversation. The email is not required, but will assure that if we are not gathering, that all are aware.

*NEW* After School Net, on the IRA Link System Mondays, 5:30 PM.
A new net is active. It’s called the After School net, and occurs every Monday at 5:30 PM.
The net is primarily geared toward students, ranging from elementary to college-level, and will be oriented toward topics of interest to them. Net hosts Emma KE8IKS and Sabrina WS8EMT.
Both licensed hams and non-licensed are welcome. In order to meet FCC legal requirements, any non-ham should check in as a “third party” check-in, and should use the call sign of the ham who is assisting them. Hams in other age groups will also have an opportunity to check in toward the end of the net.
So, come join the fun on an IRA link near you, via EchoLink, or via Allstar!!!!
