At our YouTube channel you will find:

"Classic" club meetings:

As time and availability permits, we will be posting selected videos of past club meetings from our archive.

Special content:

These videos are related to club events or activities - such as field day.

Virtual (online) club meetings:

In early 2020, as the pandemic was striking, most public gatherings stopped so the Utah Amateur Radio Club has begun to present virtual, online meetings. Past virtual meetings are available for viewing on the club's YouTube channel.

When are these meetings?

These meetings are held at the normal UARC meeting time: The meeting itself will start at 7:30 PM (Mountain Time) on the second Thursday of every month except July and August.

As in real life, you can "join" the meeting earlier - In this case, the live stream will start a bit before the actual meeting, typically between 7:00-7:15 PM (MT)

Where can I watch these meetings?

You may find these meetings on UARC's YouTube channel - you can click here - or on the link above - to go there.

To simply watch the meeting you do not need to log in: Anyone can view the live or recorded content.

When there is a live stream you will see a video on YouTube marked with a red "LIVE" label - click on that link and you will be on the live stream.

You can watch the meeting on any device with which you can view YouTube videos such as a phone, laptop, computer, smart TV and tablet.

How do I participate in these meetings?

You do NOT need to log in to anything to simply watch the virtual meeting - simply click on the "Live" video on UARC's YouTube channel during the live stream.

To participate in the live, virtual UARC meeting via the YouTube chat function you will need a Gmail account.

After you log into your Gmail account, go to the club's YouTube page and open the live stream. Please note that the YouTube stream is delayed by 20-30 seconds from the "live" event.

Along the right-hand side of the live video you will see a chat bar where you can enter comments.

During the live meeting one of the UARC members will be monitoring the chat and will be given the occasional opportunity to talk about questions and comments brought up by participants of the YouTube chat during the meeting.

Remember: The only way that the general public can interact during the meeting is via the YouTube chat function but you don't need to do anything to just watch it.

If you can't watch the meeting "live":

The virtual UARC meetings are recorded and made available afterwards. Within a day or so after the meeting a version that is trimmed to remove the pre-meeting set-up will appear on UARC's YouTube channel.

Because of YouTube restrictions related to our YouTube content having been marked as being "Safe for Kids" the comments and chat are disabled for replayed meeting videos - sorry about that!
