We do not currently have a regular physical meeting location.

Both the Board and Membership meetings are open to the public.  You do not need to be a member of the club or even a licensed amateur to attend.  A majority of the club's operational needs and routine business decisions are handled at the Board meetings, while the Membership meetings have a business element but are more focused on fun stuff.  Not a member?  Apply for membership here.

The After-Meeting Hangout

Just as many RATS members used to hang out in the parking lot for hours after our in-person meetings ended, we're doing the same on Zoom.  Grab a cup of caffeine and hang out with the late night crew to talk ham radio until o'dark:30.  Reconnect any time using the regular Zoom meeting information above.
