Last night’s Stars Radio Club meeting was both enlightening and entertaining, thanks to a fantastic presentation by club member Jose Arrom, KE9ANL. Jose explored how drones are being used in amateur radio and beyond, and it was clear that he has a real passion for the subject.

His presentation highlighted the growing intersection of drone technology and amateur radio, showing how ham radio operators are using drones for everything from remote communications to aerial repeaters. Jose also shared some fascinating real-world examples of drone use outside of the hobby—everything from search and rescue operations to environmental monitoring. It was a perfect blend of technical insight and practical application, making it easy to see why drones are becoming an increasingly important tool in many fields.

After the presentation, a few important updates were shared with the group. First, it was announced that starting in 2025, our regular meetings will shift to a 7:00 pm start time. This adjustment will give presenters a bit more time to share their knowledge without feeling rushed, and we hope it will make for even more engaging and informative sessions.

Finally, Dennis our president, reminded everyone that our annual Holiday Party will take place in December, with festivities kicking off at 7:30 pm. It’s always a fun event, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the season with fellow members. Scroll down for party details.

A big thank you to Jose for his excellent presentation, and to everyone who joined us at the meeting. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

November’s meeting will be our final opportunity to shape the club’s direction before the new year begins, and your input is crucial in this process. Your feedback and participation are highly valued, and together, we can chart a course that benefits all members.
