Join us and others to discover the potential of the Amateur Radio Community both local and worldwide. Once you become a licensed Ham radio operator, the entire world is at your fingertips.
Help us help other non-profits in their endeavors to raise money for their causes by participating in field events or from the comfort of your home radio base to provide communications and logistic assistance. Training is provided by club members and public safety professionals.
You can obtain your basic Technician Class Ham Radio license through our HAMCRAM events or study on your own. There is no age limit to take the test, some as young as 5, and as old as 80 have obtained their licenses.

Description
We provide routine and emergency communications for local non-profit events and to local, county, state, and federal authorities in times of disaster using our member resources. Our objective is not replace any current group or organization, but supplement their activities with additional resources when neccessary. Members will only be required to attend one meeting and one event per year.
This club's main goals are to disseminate information about events state wide to promote volunteerism through Amateur radio and to directly support those events with Amateur radio operators, like you.
