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
    When using a directional antenna, how might your station be able to communicate with a distant repeater if buildings or obstructions are blocking the direct line of sight path?

    Change from vertical to horizontal polarization
    Try to find a path that reflects signals to the repeater
    Try the long path
    Increase the antenna SWR
    General
    Why must all metal enclosures of station equipment be grounded?

    It prevents a blown fuse in the event of an internal short circuit
    It prevents signal overload
    It ensures that the neutral wire is grounded
    It ensures that hazardous voltages cannot appear on the chassis
    Extra
    How does the gain of an ideal operational amplifier vary with frequency?

    It increases linearly with increasing frequency
    It decreases linearly with increasing frequency
    It decreases logarithmically with increasing frequency
    It does not vary with frequency
