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 meant by "repeater offset”?

    The difference between a repeater’s transmit and receive frequencies
    The repeater has a time delay to prevent interference
    The repeater station identification is done on a separate frequency
    The number of simultaneous transmit frequencies used by a repeater
    General
    Which of the following is an advantage of using a horizontally polarized as compared to a vertically polarized HF antenna?

    Lower ground losses
    Lower feed point impedance
    Shorter radials
    Lower radiation resistance
    Extra
    What hazard is created by operating at microwave frequencies?

    Microwaves are ionizing radiation
    The high gain antennas commonly used can result in high exposure levels
    Microwaves are in the frequency range where wave velocity is higher
    The extremely high frequency energy can damage the joints of antenna structures
