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 6:00 PM . Effective immediately you must have a frn (federal registration number)before the test can be given.

Communications Test

March 14, 2024

 

We will be conducting another communications test for the eastern part of the state on March 14, 2024.  We plan to first meet on the 2 meter link system at 8:00 pm.  From there, we will move to a clear frequency on 75 meters to see who can hear who at that time of night.  Please encourage any ham in the area to meet with us.  We just want to see how propagation is for that time of day in case we have an emergency that requires our involvement.  Hope to hear you then.
