The Bella Vista Radio Club (BVRC) in northwest Arkansas, an ARRL Special Service Club, found a good outreach opportunity with the NWA Maker Faire, held Saturday, September 6, 2025. Other club members who assisted included Sharron Edmondson, KC5SKY, and Alex Smith, KI5EQK,” he said. “Most were familiar or at the very least curious about ham radio,” noted Bennett. ARRL has declared 2026 to be the Year of the Club, and radio clubs such as BVRC will be a central focus of support next year. “Maker Faires are an outstanding venue for presenting ham radio and for ham clubs to engage with the maker community, one that is filled with technically-oriented folks who love tinkering, hacking and building.”For more information on BVRC, visit bellavistaradioclub.org.
