  • About

    By Lew Malchick, N2RQ

    School Club Roundup (SCR) is sponsored by the ARRL, its Hudson Division Education Task Force and and the Long Island Mobile Amateur Radio Club (LIMARC), to foster contacts with and among school radio clubs.

    The SCR is a great way to get young operators on the air. Very often a new operator will be intimidated by the fear of not knowing what to say to the stranger on the other side of the radio. The exchange information helps to overcome this fear in a low pressure contest format. Operators are encouraged to take some time to chat beyond the contest exchange.

    Award certificates will be issued for the following US and DX categories:

    Schools: Elementary, Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School, High School and College/University

    In addition, non-school clubs and individials also compete for certificates.

K5LBJ In Action

These photos and video were taken during the October 2010 School Club Roundup (SCR). LBJ High School Radio Club was ranked #1 in the high school category in both 2006 and October 2010. We hope that these items will share the fun that we have during the SCR with others. The Club began at the Liberal Arts & Science Academy (LASA), at that time, a program of LBJ High School. In 2007, LASA became its own independent high school. To preserve both the school’s legacy and to promote its Texas roots, the Club chose to keep the K5LBJ call sign and name. The club is led by Ronny Risinger, KC5EES, an ARRL Teacher Institute graduate, who has acted as Sponsor and Trustee of the Club since its formation, and Elmer, Joe Fisher, K5EJL.
