The South Pasadena Amateur Radio Club, W6SPR, is an organization of amateur radio operators in South Pasadena, CA and the surrounding communities. Our focus is connecting local hams and providing emergency communications training and services. We aim to host a range of activities for both the long-time operator with an Amateur Extra license and someone new to the hobby who wants to learn more. Visit us on the web at SouthPasRadio.org.

At SPARC's November meeting we ran the HT Analog Obstacle Course, inspired by @km4ack. Participants demonstrated HT skills and preparedness. They sorted M&Ms by color and transmitted the count. The grand finale was the most challenging part: transmitting instructions on how to assemble a small LEGO kit. Harder than it sounds! Participants received a 3D-printed challenge coin featuring Li'l Sparky. Hear about future fun events at SouthPasRadio.org.
