Event Date
Saturday, April 11, 2026 - 10:00 amThe Pen Bay Amateur Radio Club invites amateur radio operators, makers, and technology enthusiasts to a special hands-on tech session focused on MeshCore and LoRa radio communication.
The session will take place Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 10 a.m., at the Owls Head Transportation Museum, in Owls Head.
Attendees will learn about off-grid mesh networking using Meshtastic and LoRa technology — resilient, long-range communication tools that work without cell service or internet. The presentation will cover the basics of MeshCore, practical applications for emergency preparedness, outdoor adventures, and community communication networks.
“This is a great opportunity to explore cutting-edge, low-power radio technology that is growing rapidly in the ham radio and maker communities,” said a club spokesperson, in a news release. “Whether you’re an experienced ham or just curious about modern radio communications, you’ll leave with new knowledge and ideas you can put to use.”
The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
