The BARC (Bellevue Amateur Radio Club) will be sponsoring free classes for individuals wanted to become a ham radio operator. Although the class is free, students are encouraged to come prepared with a copy of the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 3rd Edition.

Location: Bellevue Medical Center / Nebraska Medicine - 2500 Bellevue Medical Center Dr, Bellevue, NE 68123 - in the basement down the hall opposite the cafeteria in Conference Room D.  The hospital is on the corner of 25th Street and Highway 370.

The class will be held over three Saturdays, October 7, 14 and 28 from 8:30am - 4:30pm. There will be a break for lunch and students will have access to the hospital grill and salad bar. The food is pretty good.

Local Amateur Radio NETs

An amateur radio net is an "on radio" gathering of amateur radio operators. A net may be formal or informal. They reoccur at regular intervals on a schedule. A net control operator is the individual presiding over the net that directs whose turn in order may speak. A predetermined topic may be selected or there may be open discussion depending on the type of net. Some nets serve a specific practical purpose while others are merely social. Getting involved in a social net is a quick way to meet other hams and become familiar with the process of repeater or simplex operation.

  • List of EN21 Verified Area Nets (link)

    Members and other local ham radio operators interested in starting a Plattsmouth Amateur Radio net please visit one of our meetings, formal or weekly informal, and tell us your ideas. Our operational repeater in Omaha Nebraska has excellent coverage. When the Murray repeater is placed back into service this summer that coverage will extend to Union, and Nebraska City.
