From student satellite activity to HamSCI and fresh attention on space weather, March 2026 shows that amateur radio is still technical, relevant, and very much alive. AMSAT launched Students On The Air on March 3, HamSCI 2026 is set for March 14–15, NOAA is watching low solar activity for March 9–13, and the FCC’s recent 60-meter expansion is still reshaping what operators can do.

Welcome to the new ARCA website! After months of work, we're proud to launch a modern platform that better serves Arizona's amateur radio community.
