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)

    Technician
    What is a characteristic of HF communication compared with communications on VHF and higher frequencies?

    HF antennas are generally smaller
    HF accommodates wider bandwidth signals
    Long-distance ionospheric propagation is far more common on HF
    There is less atmospheric interference (static) on HF
    General
    Which of the following statements is true of single sideband (SSB)?

    Only one sideband and the carrier are transmitted; the other sideband is suppressed
    Only one sideband is transmitted; the other sideband and carrier are suppressed
    SSB is the only voice mode authorized on the 20-, 15-, and 10-meter amateur bands
    SSB is the only voice mode authorized on the 160-, 75-, and 40-meter amateur bands
    Extra
    Which of the following describes problems caused by poor dynamic range in a receiver?

    Spurious signals caused by cross modulation and desensitization from strong adjacent signals
    Oscillator instability requiring frequent retuning and loss of ability to recover the opposite sideband
    Poor weak signal reception caused by insufficient local oscillator injection
    Oscillator instability and severe audio distortion of all but the strongest received signals
