The goal was simple: demonstrate emergency deployment readiness while connecting with other amateur radio enthusiasts across North America and the globe.</p> https://sequatchieradio.org/post/2026/2026-annual-dues-now-due/ Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://sequatchieradio.org/post/2026/2026-annual-dues-now-due/ <p>It&rsquo;s that time of year again!
