Recruit members
To start, your new club will need to have at least 4 members to fill the officers' seats of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Hold an open house, inviting the public. Share your enthusiasm for Amateur Radio with others. Excitement is contagious!
ARRL can provide brochures so you can inform the public about Amateur Radio and recruit prospective hams for your club.
Where To Meet
Your new club should have a meeting location that is convenient for people to get to. Secure parking and handicap access are some items to consider when looking for a meeting location.
Some small clubs meet at a local restaurant that has meeting facilities available. Public libraries, schools, community centers, churches and firehouses often have meeting rooms available to use. Some may charge rent or ask for a donation while others may be free for community groups like an Amateur Radio club.

If your club plans to participate in on air activities, consider applying for a Club Call Sign
