Join us for this engaging presentation at the Tri-Lakes Amateur Radio Club (TLARC) where Denny, K5DCC, dives into the world of DIY slot antennas — a unique design made popular by antenna expert John Portune. Learn how you can build one yourself, why they work so well in tight spaces, and how they compare to traditional antennas. Great for apartment operators, stealth setups, and field use. Whether you’re looking to improve your ham radio station or just curious about antenna theory, this talk will get you thinking outside the box — or rather, inside the slot.

ROBOTA is born :

Today marks an exciting milestone for the amateur radio community in Romania as ROBOTA – Romania Bunkers on the Air officially begins to take shape! This ambitious project aims to connect ham radio operators with historical bunker locations across Romania, offering unique opportunities for activations and exploration.

While the foundation has been laid, we want to inform everyone that the ROBOTA website is still very much under construction and undergoing continuous modifications. Our team is working diligently to bring you a comprehensive and user-friendly platform and also a Romanian translation as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this development phase.

Stay tuned for more updates as ROBOTA progresses. We look forward to connecting with you on the air from some incredible historical sites soon!
