Our Mission: To build a wide-area amateur radio system in Western Pennsylvania to provide safe / reliable communications where cell phones and 911 systems don’t work for hiking, camping, boating, travelling, community service, search and rescue and emergency communications.
Next Ham Radio Dinner Meeting is Thursday August 20th 5PM at Fortune Star Buffet in front of Butler Wal Mart. Prizes and ham radio show and tell. Everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there.
