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 VHF signal strengths sometimes vary greatly when the antenna is moved only a few feet?

    The signal path encounters different concentrations of water vapor
    VHF ionospheric propagation is very sensitive to path length
    Multipath propagation cancels or reinforces signals
    All these choices are correct
    General
    What is the frequency above which a low-pass filter’s output power is less than half the input power?

    Notch frequency
    Neper frequency
    Cutoff frequency
    Rolloff frequency
    Extra
    What is an effect of excessive phase noise in an SDR receiver’s master clock oscillator?

    It limits the receiver’s ability to receive strong signals
    It can affect the receiver’s frequency calibration
    It decreases the receiver’s third-order intercept point
    It can combine with strong signals on nearby frequencies to generate interference
