About
the Fulton Amateur Radio Club:
The
primary purposes of the Fulton Amateur Radio Club are to
promote the use of Amateur Radio for emergency
communication, foster interest in radio/electronics and to
provide license training and testing.
The
Fulton Amateur Radio Club was formed in 1957. Last
year the club celebrated its 50th
Anniversary with a Special Event Station set up on the
shore of Lake Neatahwanta in Fulton which was open to the
public. In addition to
being an enjoyable activity, Special Event Stations give amateur
radio operators (hams) practical experience in setting up
operations in less than ideal conditions. Still
going strong, the club is looking ahead to its next 50
years...
Ham
Radio continues to provide major emergency communications
links during power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes and
other times when conventional communications fail.
The Fulton ARC and OCEC/RACES
provide communications when needed in emergency situations
and for public service events.
The
Fulton ARC also conducts license
training and testing. Contact
us for more information on how you can obtain your ham
radio license or upgrade your license.
New
to the hobby or need technical help? Members of the
Fulton ARC are glad to lend a hand and offer advice on
radios, antenna set ups, radio installations and
more...all you need to do is ask...or better yet - attend
a meeting!
The
Fulton Amateur Radio Club
meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month in the lower
level of the Oswego County Office Building, across from
Mimi's restaurant, Route 481 North, Fulton at 7PM.
No need to be a licensed ham radio operator to attend our
club meetings, so we welcome you to join
us!
