Winter Field Day January 25-26, 2025
Support Your Parks Weekend April 19-20, 2025
It’s spring and time to head to the park either in person to activate or virtually as a hunter!
Spring planting and music festival (BSFNRRA) April 26, 2025
Come and join the fun as we play radio and meet new friends.
We will be at the USS Tennessee Battleship Muesum and operating as a special event station.
For 2025 the club is evaluating locations and looking for a chairperson.
The Tennessee QSO Party is an annual amateur radio event on the first Sunday in September. All amateur radio operators in the great state of Tennessee are encouraged to participate as antennas around the world rotate and point to the volunteer state.
Mark your calendars for the annual Storytelling Festival. We will have a public awareness booth and activate W4BSF for the event.
For 2025 the course is back to clockwise! Get ready for some long but rewarding hours!
Amateur radio operators comprise a large percentage of the Skywarn™ volunteers across the country. The Amateur radio operators also provide vital communication between the NWS and emergency management if normal communications become inoperative.
Amateurs worldwide will exchange QSO information with as many stations as possible on the 10 meter band.
