A few things about the site's navigation that are worth knowing:
The Presentations & Documents page (under Events & Programs → Club Programs) has a searchable library of past club presentations, organized into categories like Field Day, Antennas, Digital Modes, and more.
The Newsletter page always shows the current issue front and center, plus the 5 most recent issues below it. Each issue has two options:
There's also a highlighted Article Index link in the sidebar — a spreadsheet listing every article that's ever run in Full Quieting.
Bylaws, officer info, and other official club documents live under Home → About BARC in the top menu, with their own sidebar to move between them.
Have an idea for a Tech Night topic or a monthly meeting presentation? On the Presentations & Documents page, look for "Submit a Topic" in the sidebar. Clicking it opens a short form right on the page — fill in your name, callsign, presentation title, and a bit about what you'd like to cover, and it goes straight to the Programs Coordinator.

The BARC Communication Center uses an antenna system on the rooftop of the school building. There is one tower with a rotator that can be controlled from any station. At the top the tower is a multi-band beam with a VHF/UHF dual-band vertical antenna just below. Attached to the tower is an EFHW antenna for 80-10 meters. There is also an R9 vertical for 80-10 meters.

A patch panel is used to connect any radio to any antenna so that all stations have access to whatever antenna is needed. The rotor patch panel allows any station to control the rotor on either tower. A fully-equipped workbench is used to repair radios, coax, and other radio equipment. Members are welcome to use the workbench to repair or test their own radio equipment. The workbench has connections to a dummy load and to the antenna patch panel for testing radios.
