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)

    What is the purpose of placing an electrostatic shield around a small-loop direction-finding antenna?

    It adds capacitive loading, increasing the bandwidth of the antenna
    It eliminates unbalanced capacitive coupling to the antenna’s surroundings, improving the depth of its nulls
    It eliminates tracking errors caused by strong out-of-band signals
    It increases signal strength by providing a better match to the feed line
