You are invited to join the BARRA Tech Net New Year’s Eve Open Forum as we gather on the air to close out the year together. This net is an open, relaxed conversation where you can listen in, check in, and participate at whatever level you are comfortable. Operators from across the local and extended amateur radio community are sharing experiences from the past year, discussing projects they are working on, and talking about what excites them as the new year begins.

As you tune in, you’ll hear a wide range of topics including repeater operations, AllStar and EchoLink nodes, SDR experimentation, antennas, digital modes, and home-brew projects. Newer hams and seasoned operators alike are contributing, creating an atmosphere that is friendly, supportive, and easy to jump into. If you are just listening, you will still gain ideas, inspiration, and practical insights from the discussion.

The net also looks forward, with participants talking about goals, upgrades, and technologies they want to explore in the coming year. More than just a technical discussion, this New Year’s Eve Tech Net highlights what amateur radio is all about: learning, collaboration, and community. As the clock turns toward a new year, the BARRA Tech Net brings everyone together to start it connected and inspired.
