Serving the community through Amateur Radio since 1936.

Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people,
electronics, and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
