Salty Walt presentation at Hamfest 2026

Hi, I like Salty Walt Youtube channel and he is character, enthusiast, and inventor for HF antennas. He did a presentation at Hamfest this year, and he has several good points that I think would interest other HAM folks - MUF 3000 ( - Space weather (solarham.com) - his antenna books Hamfest Youtube presentation: Salty Walt’s Portable Antennas Presentation - Huntsville Hamfest 2026

Member of the Month is Coming Soon

WVARA is more than repeaters, radios, antennas, and meetings — it’s the people who bring the club to life. Our upcoming Member of the Month feature will introduce you to some of the operators who make our amateur radio community such an interesting and welcoming place.

Each month, we’ll spotlight a WVARA member and share a little about their journey into amateur radio, their favorite parts of the hobby, current projects, operating interests, and perhaps a story or two from along the way. We’re putting the finishing touches on this new feature now, so check back soon to meet our first featured member!
