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 can you make sure your station stays in compliance with RF safety regulations?

    By informing the FCC of any changes made in your station
    By re-evaluating the station whenever an item in the transmitter or antenna system is changed
    By making sure your antennas have low SWR
    All these choices are correct

    Why should effective radiated power (ERP) be limited to a satellite that uses a linear transponder?

    To prevent creating errors in the satellite telemetry
    To avoid reducing the downlink power to all other users
    To prevent the satellite from emitting out-of-band signals
    To avoid interfering with terrestrial QSOs
