New Meeting Location!
Turlock Amateur Radio Club holds a meeting on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 PM. Meetings are held at First Presbyterian Church of Turlock, 2619 N Berkeley Ave, Turlock. All are welcome to attend.
TARC Name Tags
We are inviting all members and friends to order an official TARC name tag so we can put faces to call signs at meetings and events. Your personalized tag with call sign and first name makes it easier to connect during club gatherings, license testing, and Field Day. Whether you are licensed or still in progress, we would be glad to print a tag that helps you feel part of the TARC community.
POTA Campout
- We’d love to have you up for the weekend to RV or tent camp! We’ll be camping at the Fleming Meadows Campground at Lake Don Pedro which is a VERY nice campground. We’ve got early bird trailer campers already reserved for sites H-40, H-41, and H-43 at the time of this e-mail – feel free to camp at adjacent sites! If you prefer tent camping, there are tent sites nearby as well. All the details are on the Don Pedro camp reservations site.
- We’ll have campsite hangouts Friday and Saturday evenings by the trailers and of course all are welcome there! There will undoubtedly be some evening 40 and 80m radio operating into the evening…
- And of course what would camping be without camp cooking?? We will definitely NOT be going hungry – great meals are being planned as we speak!
- If you’d rather come up just for the POTA adventure that’s great too. We’ll be starting at Red Hills BLM Recreation Management Area (US-11580) at 9:00a Saturday 10/24/2026.If you’re planning to come up later in the day please e-mail me for more info (below) – we will likely be moving to other parks as well and we don’t want to miss you. Directions to Red Hills are below.
