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.

Amateur radio operators have provided emergency communications for their communities since the hobby began. BARC has been serving Greene County in this capacity since our founding after the 1974 Xenia tornado — and we're still ready.
BARC was founded specifically in response to the communications failure during the 1974 Xenia tornado. When the grid goes down, phone lines fail, and internet stops, amateur radio keeps working. BARC members train year-round to ensure we're ready when called.
Our four-station emergency communications center at the St. Pierre Education Center is equipped and ready to operate on emergency power. BARC serves as a communications resource for Greene County Emergency Management and is affiliated with Greene County ARES (GCARES).
BARC is affiliated with the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), a program of the ARRL that coordinates amateur radio operators for emergency communications. Our local ARES affiliate is Greene County ARES (GCARES).
