What is Amateur Radio? 

 

Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) is a popular hobby and service in which licensed Amateur Radio operators (hams) operate communications equipment.

Although Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the "Amateur Bands." These bands are radio frequencies reserved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by ham radio operators.

This is not your  Grandfather's 
Radio Club!

Our Mission: To seek out innovations in the amateur radio and electronics fields, educate the current generation, and the next generation, and add fun and excitement while doing this. To band together, as interested parties, building strength and possibilities where individuals could not; and, acting as an advocate, on behalf of it’s membership.
