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)

    How is a specific group of stations selected on a digital voice transceiver?

    By retrieving the frequencies from transceiver memory
    By enabling the group’s CTCSS tone
    By entering the group’s identification code
    By activating automatic identification
    General
    What is the relationship between high standing wave ratio (SWR) and transmission line loss?

    There is no relationship between transmission line loss and SWR
    High SWR increases loss in a lossy transmission line
    High SWR makes it difficult to measure transmission line loss
    High SWR reduces the relative effect of transmission line loss
    Extra
    What happens to reactive power in ideal inductors and capacitors?

    It is dissipated as heat in the circuit
    Energy is stored in magnetic or electric fields, but power is not dissipated
    It is canceled by Coulomb forces in the capacitor and inductor
    It is dissipated in the formation of inductive and capacitive fields
