As amateur radio operators, we can talk to fellow "hams" around the world using HF frequencies similar to those that AM radio uses. We also learn about radio propagation, antennas, solar cycles, and electronics. Another key part of amateur radio is service. Hams often assist in events, such as the Marine Corp Marathon, providing communications for the events. Amateur operators also provide backup communications when other forms of communication, such as phones and cell phones, are disabled.
Our club meets Wednesday B blocks. Ms. Wu sponsors the Hamradio Club. The Elmers of the club (veteran hams that teach young hams) are Arthur Feller and John Transue.
