Hello, welcome to the home page for the Husky Amateur Radio Club at Michigan Technological University, pictured to the right. We are a Student Organization dedicated to the hobby of amateur radio (aka Ham radio).
Our Meetings are every Thursday of the term at 8:00 pm in the 6th Floor Penthouse of Wadsworth Hall. Meetings are very open and always welcome anyone with a idea or a problem. Our club is composed mostly of students and community members.
The HARC shack is located on the 6th floor of Wadsworth. If you head up the west center stairwell to the top you can’t miss it. Feel free to contact any member if you’d like to see our Ham Shack. Any general questions can be directed to our members email list harc-l@mtu.edu, we will be glad to answer any questions.
For those of you that don’t know what Amateur Radio is, it is a hobby that is devoted to the use of two way radio communications that enable the operators to talk with each other to establish friendships, alliances, or to provide services. Amateur radio operators can transmit from their homes, vehicles, boats, or anywhere that they can take their radio. Also some places they cannot go but their radios can (eg. Space).
You may be thinking that this sounds like the use of CB’s, but on the contrary, amateur radios are much more high powered and can transmit world wide. It must be remembered that in order to be an Amateur Radio Operator you must first pass a license exam from the FCC.
As a member of the Husky Amateur Radio Club, you will establish life long friendships along with gaining valuable information from its members about the hobby of Ham Radio. An Amateur Radio Operators license is not required to join the club and the club has a library of material to help you pass the exams. All Licensed club members are given access to the club shack to operate the station during the year.
HARC participates in such activities as: provide emergency assistance in times of need with the organization ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service), provide communications services for the Lake Superior Pro-Rally, provide classroom demonstrations for local high schools, not to mention many other fun and interesting activities.
Please feel free to browse around our site. Let us know what you think. If you have any questions feel free to contact us via our email list or attend a weekly meeting.
