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 advantage of having multiple receive bandwidth choices on a multimode transceiver?

    Permits monitoring several modes at once by selecting a separate filter for each mode
    Permits noise or interference reduction by selecting a bandwidth matching the mode
    Increases the number of frequencies that can be stored in memory
    Increases the amount of offset between receive and transmit frequencies
    General
    What type of modulation varies the instantaneous power level of the RF signal?

    Power modulation
    Phase modulation
    Frequency modulation
    Amplitude modulation
    Extra
    Why is de-emphasis used in FM communications receivers?

    For compatibility with transmitters using phase modulation
    To reduce impulse noise reception
    For higher efficiency
    To remove third-order distortion products
