Bloomington Amateur Radio Club
Serving Bloomington and Monroe County, Indiana Since 1967
Club Meetings
Schedule
Unless indicated otherwise, club meetings take place each month at 7:00PM on the first Friday of the month. Everyone is invited, member or not. Meet local hams whose call signs you’ve been hearing on the air and wondering who they are, find out what the upcoming area ham radio activities are, and how you can help and get involved.
Location
First United Church, 2420 E 3rd St 47401 will be the new site for our monthly meetings. Here is a map
Please park at the East Side Door (at the back of the IU Credit Union lot), turn right after entry, go down the corridor to the Roger Williams Hall on the left. This is a dual in-person and Zoom possible gathering.
NOTE: We usually meet on the first Friday of each month at 7:00 pm, although we do occasionally change these dates or location to accommodate weather or other scheduling conflicts. Changes are shown in red in the meeting schedule below.
[Please contact Tom Henderson at w9yw at arrl.net if you are interested in making a presentation at a BARC meeting. If you are a first time presenter, we will gladly help you prepare.]
