We really enjoy getting On The Air and operating! We have a long and proud tradition of operating excellence and we are very active in Contests and other on the air events.
Our Activities Chairperson is Jamey Finchum, AC1DC and he regularly schedules all sorts of activations and activities including SOTA, IOTA, contests, and of course, participation in Field Days. You can contact Jamey at [email protected].

We regularly put our “Foxes” (hidden radio transmitters) out in the area so folks can hunt them down. We’ll post these activations in our On The Air Forum here on our website.
We also hold weekly Repeater and HF Nets. You can learn more about our nets here.
We have been widely recognized for our operating excellence. You can see some of the awards we have received here.
