The Venture Out Amateur Radio Club continues meeting on Saturdays through the summer, but they meet up at the community center rather than in the Oasis room, which is closer to where our lots are located. (I think that the Oasis Room is not used in the summer at all so the resort can save on air conditioning costs.)

The Venture Out group also has weekly "nets" at 1pm on Wednesdays -- during the season, these nets are on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1pm. Usually folks join via their radios when they are in the park, but since many people are absent during the summer, they have a way to connect in via EchoLink (https://www.echolink.org/), that allows in-park residents to be on their radios, and out-of-park residents to connect in via the internet or an app on their phones.
It is nice to keep up with our VO Ham friends through the summer and hear what summer adventures they are having!
