The Palyground Amateur Radio Club is a Staple in Fort Walton Beach Florida!
If you are in the Florida Panhandle or suroounding area, we meet on the first and third Thursday's of the month at 730pm. We also meet each Sunday at 3pm. This occurs at 17First Street SE, Fortt walton Beach, Florida, 32548.
During our first Thursday we cover subjects that are related to technical or informative instruction and participation to all Amateurs and related communication enthusiasts!
During our third Thuraday we recap the month with our elected officers and membership. We share and evolve ideas for club projects, community support, and developments in the Amateir Radio community to bolster the professional communcators that we are!
During our Sundays, aptly dubed "Pile-Ups", we perform multiple actions from working on projects, shooting DX, Calling CQ, experimenting with new and old communications techniques, inspect, repair (what we can), build, and install equipment!
