Join us for the Tehachapi Amateur Radio Associations monthly breakfast at Gracian’s Grill in Tehachapi. It’s a great opportunity to meet with friends and fellow “Ham” Radio operators from in and around the Tehachapi area. Good food, great people, and awesome conversations. Our monthly breakfast(s) have resumed and are held on the second (2nd) Saturday of every month at Gracian’s Grill at 8:30 am (PDT). While an RSVP is not required, we’d love to know how many people can make it so that we can prepare the staff. See you there and bring your appetite. 73’s!
