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
    Why should you not set your transmit frequency to be exactly at the edge of an amateur band or sub-band?

    To allow for calibration error in the transmitter frequency display
    So that modulation sidebands do not extend beyond the band edge
    To allow for transmitter frequency drift
    All these choices are correct
    General
    What precaution should be taken if you install an indoor transmitting antenna?

    Locate the antenna close to your operating position to minimize feed-line radiation
    Position the antenna along the edge of a wall to reduce parasitic radiation
    Make sure that MPE limits are not exceeded in occupied areas
    Make sure the antenna is properly shielded
    Extra
    When using a transceiver that displays the carrier frequency of phone signals, which of the following displayed frequencies represents the lowest frequency at which a properly adjusted LSB emission will be totally within the band?

    The exact lower band edge
    300 Hz above the lower band edge
    1 kHz above the lower band edge
    3 kHz above the lower band edge
