- Description:

We are a small ham club, everyone is welcome, members or non-members.
We enjoying getting together on the first Tuesday of most months out of the year a talk about radio. We try to have a program each meeting which may include a presentation by another ham, a guest speaker and sometimes a hands-on project like building a Yagi 2 meter antenna.
We have a NET every Sunday evening at 9:00pm CST on our repeater at 147.315MHz with +600 transmit 147.915. Everyone is welcome to participate.
We have enjoyed participating in Feild Day for many years and the Illinois QSO Party.
We work together with other local clubs to organize testing for new hams and hams that want to advance to the next licence level.
If you are interested in becoming a Ham, contact us and plan on coming to a meeting to say hello and learn the ropes.
