About Our Club

Structure

Organized in January of 2014. Many members but not all are residents of Eden Prairie. Many of our members are members of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL).  Our club is ARRL affiliated.

On the fourth Thursday of each month, at 7 pm.  In December the regular monthly meeting is not held. Instead we have a Christmas Party at an alternate site.

Focus

We are a general interest Ham Radio Club with activities and support for people who are just learning about radio communications and those with a deeper background.

We hold monthly meetings to discuss topics of mutual interest, and plan club activities. In June we participate in "Field day" weekend sponsored by the ARRL.

In December we hold a club Christmas party.
