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

What is the effect of excessive microphone gain on SSB transmissions?

Frequency instability

Distorted transmitted audio

Increased SWR

All these choices are correct

General

What happens when inductive and capacitive reactance are equal in a series LC circuit?

Resonance causes impedance to be very high

Impedance is equal to the geometric mean of the inductance and capacitance

Resonance causes impedance to be very low

Impedance is equal to the arithmetic mean of the inductance and capacitance
