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)

    Why should the outer jacket of coaxial cable be resistant to ultraviolet light?

    Ultraviolet resistant jackets prevent harmonic radiation
    Ultraviolet light can increase losses in the cable’s jacket
    Ultraviolet and RF signals can mix, causing interference
    Ultraviolet light can damage the jacket and allow water to enter the cable
    General
    How does the attenuation of coaxial cable change with increasing frequency?

    Attenuation is independent of frequency
    Attenuation increases
    Attenuation decreases
    Attenuation follows Marconi’s Law of Attenuation
