Open to students, faculty, and staff, the club offers regular amateur radio licensing exams and monthly meetings, providing opportunities for members to engage in various modes of communication, including voice, video, digital, and Morse code, using their well-equipped radio shack on top of Hamerschlag Hall. Aside from fostering a passion for amateur radio, the club also plays a crucial role in providing safety communication for campus events, notably the annual Buggy races. Membership is easily attainable by attending a club meeting and participating in one other club event, such as a get-on-the-air night or weekly Buggy safety nets, with the option to borrow radio equipment if needed.Generated from the website
