Who We Are:
Our club is a diverse group of men, women and youth interested in electronics and radio communications. Joining an amateur radio club offers you:

  • Instruction and tutoring
  • Additional advanced training
  • Work on electronic DIY projects
  • Access to club radio equipment which offers an opportunity for hands-on” experience.

    • Hams provide Emergency Communications on a volunteer basis during times of local and national disasters. Amateur Radio Operators (Hams) volunteer their communications skills to Police, Fire and other Local, State and Federal agencies during these times of emergency. During such an event, Amateur Radio is often the only working form of communication still available as storms, floods, fires and other disasters can quickly take down the public communication infrastructure such as cell phones, home phones and the internet.

    With their emergency power supplies, such as batteries, solar panels and generators, amateur radio operators can get on the air and provide fast and reliable communications in almost any condition. (More Info)

    Why do exposure limits vary with frequency?

    Lower frequency RF fields have more energy than higher frequency fields
    Lower frequency RF fields do not penetrate the human body
    Higher frequency RF fields are transient in nature
    The human body absorbs more RF energy at some frequencies than at others
    General
    What is the purpose of using a receive attenuator?

    To prevent receiver overload from strong incoming signals
    To reduce the transmitter power when driving a linear amplifier
    To reduce power consumption when operating from batteries
