What is Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio is a fun and exciting hobby with something for everyone. You can become a licensed amateur radio operator regardless of your age, gender, or physical condition. There are several levels of licenses from the beginner to expert. Each level allows for greater operating privileges.

Amateur operators use their radio stations to communicate from their home, cars, boats, and outdoor locations to make contact with other operators around the world. They can communicate via voice, Morse Code (CW), computers, amateur television, and satellites using HF (High-Frequency ), VHF (Very-High-Frequency ), and UHF (Ultra-High-Frequency )Bands.  

Amateur Radio will give you the opportunity to meet other interesting individuals from all walks of life.

Community Service

Amateur Radio operators enjoy the chance to provide service to their local communities through planned projects sponsored by their local clubs.

The Stanly County Amateur Radio Club stays involved with community service by providing radio communications for parades, foot races, and amateur radio public awareness events.
