    By Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU

    April 1, 2005


    This week, we continue surfing into radio's past, this time concentrating on Amateur Radio clubs at colleges and universities.


    As March Madness segues into April Apprehension, it is appropriate to continue last week's look at radio history by taking a look at Web sites dedicated to the history of Amateur Radio clubs at institutions of higher learning.

    This list of Web sites is alphabetical according to the name of the school.

  • Auburn University Amateur Radio Club History (Click on the History link on their home page.)

  • Columbia University: History of W2AEE, the Columbia University Amateur Radio Club and W2AEE Antenna History

    This week, read the histories of Amateur Radio clubs on campus like this one at Cornell University.

  • Cornell Amateur Radio Club W2CXM History

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology: MIT Radio Society Historical Documents

  • North Carolina State University: W4ATC StARS, North Carolina State University Students Amateur Radio Society (Click on the "Read about our club history here" link on their home page.)

  • Purdue University: W9YB Purdue Amateur Radio Club History

  • Stanford University: W6YX History Files

  • Texas A&M University: W5AC Club History

  • University of Arkansas: N5UWY's Brief and Somewhat Incomplete History of the Amateur Radio Club of the University of Arkansas

  • University of Central Florida: UCFARC (University of Central Florida Amateur Radio Club) History

  • University of Cincinnati Amateur Radio Club, The History of 8YX

  • University of Iowa: UIARC (University of Iowa Amateur Radio Club) History

  • University of Tennessee: About UTARC (University of Tennessee Amateur Radio Club)

  • University of Texas: A History of the University of Texas Amateur Radio Club

  • Worcester Polytechnic Institute: WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Wireless Association History

    Thank you, Ken Harker, WM5R, for suggesting some of the aforementioned Web sites.

    Until next week, keep on surfin'.

    Editor' note: Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU, was a member of the University of Connecticut Amateur Radio Club, which does not have a Web site, but UCONN does have a story about how Amateur Radio helped the university cope with the Hurricane of 1938. To discuss UCONN, radio clubs and other neat stuff, e-mail Stan.
