KY4ARC was formed in February 2006. Like most clubs it has seen its membership fluctuate over the years. But recently we have had a big increase in membership and interest in Amateur Radio’s many aspects.  Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings and find out if this is something you would be interested in getting into.

 

IF you are interested in taking a test for amateur radio license, contact a member of our ARRL VE team to arrange for the test. We will schedule the test or you can come to any club meeting at 5:30 PM . If at all possible, let one of the following hams know you want to take the test. Effective immediately you must have a frn (federal registration number)before the test can be given. Go to this site  The video is available at, https://www.fcc.gov/rofrn .

KYARCS Hamfest 2025

Just a notice to let you know that our club will be holding our annual hamfest this year on September 27th. We will again be at the Paintsville Recreation Center.

We have quite a few donations for door prizes and wish to thank the sponsors. We almost entirely have James Morely (W4FIR), to thank for getting these sponsors to donate to the club. It seems he has the knack for getting the donations.

Please click on the link below to view the sponsors and consider buying from these businesses by clicking on their links. There is even one sponsor that has given us a discount code to be used right now.  Check it out!!!
