2025 PUBLIC EVENTS SUPPORTED BY High Desert Amateur Radio Group

Check your Calendar and block out a few dates.
New Ham? Old Ham (as apposed to age)? We need help every year to support a number of public events in the local area.
For all HiDARG sanctioned events, you need to be a current member of HiDARG to participate in the event.
Non-members would not be covered under our insurance. For non-members to participate in the event 
you will need to sign a wavier or become a supporting member of HiDARG prior to the date of the event.

Since team leaders for each event can change yearly, you can contact a HiDARG board member to get more info.
Keep in mind that a number of event sponsers make sizable donations to HiDARG.
Examples are Endurance Rides, King of the Castle, Lobos, Bike Races, Running marathons.
These are very important fund raisers for the club, so please help where you can.

NO EXPERIENCE with past EVENTS is required, we can buddy you up with someone.
Take a look at the 2025 Event Schedule for this year and see what might appeal to you.
As an event date draws the TEAM Leads we always email info about it and who to contact to sign up.
