A great resource to find out about local ham radio activity in your area is to use ARRL’s ham radio club search tool. This can be helpful for:
⚡️Finding local ham radio repeaters
⚡️Connecting with other hams
⚡️Finding local radio events, training, testing etc
⚡️Finding the schedule local on the air nets (meetings on the radio, usually on a repeater)
⚡️Local emergency comms information
⚡️Radio related volunteer event opportunities
