The amateur radio hobby encompasses a wide range of interests and specialties. Our club provides opportunities to share information and experience in these interests, and supports activities based on them. The following are just some of the interests within the hobby and our club.

Antenna Building

Designing, building, and tuning antennas is a fascinating element of the hobby, and the most effective way to maximize performance of a radio station. See Antenna Building for more information.

Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)

Amateur radio isn't all talk! One popular method of exchanging digital data is through the APRS protocol. See Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) for more information.

Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)

The continent-wide ARES organization supported by members of our club is devoted to emergency and disaster relief support. See Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) for more information.

Collecting, Contesting, & DXpeditions

Some of our members enjoy making rare or difficult contacts around the world, sometimes in contests, and supporting other amateurs in setting up stations in the most remote parts of the earth. See Collecting, Contesting, & DXpeditions for more information.

Community Service

Giving service to our communities and supporting some of their major events is part of the reason many members are in the amateur radio hobby. See Community Service for more information.

Digital Modes

The world of computers has introduced many new modes of communication to our hobby. See Digital Modes for more information.
