We need you! And your friends! And their friends!
ARKAN has several opportunities for you to serve the public and amateur radio. Volunteers are needed to lead the Second Saturday Workshops, help with net control of the Thursday night 2m net, write guest articles in the newsletter, and staff chairperson positions for key events like Field Day, Parkfest, and J.O.T.A. ARKAN is on the move and will continue to pave the way for amateur radio in Northwest Arkansas!
