Our Meetings

General membership meetings are normally held seven times a year on the third Monday of January, February, April, June, September, October and December at St. Bartholomew's Church, at the corner of Brighton and Fries Roads in the Town of Tonawanda, NY (across from Kenmore East HS) at 7:30 pm.  Doors open at 7:00 for rag chewing and informal discussion, a brief business meeting begins at 7:30, with the program of the evening following.  A few times each year the regular meetings are replaced by special activities.  These include the Mobile Clinic each July at the Boston repeater site, February Auction and tours of local businesses or other locations of interest.

Tech Net



The BARRA Tech Net meets every Wednesday at 8:00 PM local (Eastern) time on the 146.91/444.00/224.82 repeater system to answer your technical questions or hear about your ham radio projects.  Greg, K2GTM, (pictured at right) is net control.

No question is too trivial or too difficult, and pocket protectors are always welcome!  Those who join in the net are encouraged to respond if the question at hand is within their realm of knowledge or experience.  The net is open to all licensed amateurs.

Technical Committee

BARRA's Technical Committee is comprised of members who work with and on our repeater equipment and facilities in which our equipment is housed.  The Tech Committee meets the first Friday of every month (with the exception of holidays that fall on Fridays) in Room 117 of the BOCES Potter Road Career and Technical Center, 705 Potter Road, West Seneca, NY on the corner of Slade, Potter and Orchard Park Roads.  Meetings begin at 7:00 PM and usually conclude with adjornment to a local restaurant for munchies.  All BARRA members of all technical abilities are welcome to join the Technical Committee at any time.

SPECIAL NOTE: Summer meetings of the Technical Committee are held at the Cole Road repeater site, not the school.
