Extremely ACTIVE club with a specific interest of EMERGENCY SERVICE and preparation of well rounded and capable amateur radio operators. We are part of ESF2 with Alachua County in our ARES(R) function. Our members provide multiple digipeaters, WINLINK RMS server stations (both HF, hybrid, and VHF) and also a SHARES RMS server station. We hold license classes, Conferences, and assisted with the ARRL National Convention Emergency Communications Academy. We have putlshed over a dozen written texts on AMAZON about emergency communications. We also have a voice FM repeater with backup power on the county Admin Bldg.
We run an extremely active groups.io site: https://groups.io/g/NF4RC
Club meetings are the 2nd Wednesday every month, and may be in person, via ZOOM or Hybrid (both). We also provide a monthly TECH NITE, typically via ZOOM, at 7PM on the First Thursday of each month.
Our extensive club web site includes scores of eduational articles on this page: https://www.nf4rc.club/how-to-docs/
Our Calendar includes many local ham radio events on this page: https://qsl.net/nf4rc/CALENDAR.html
One of our members has now created a high school one- or two-semester INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY course suitable for a high school elective, and based on Amateur Radio, with additional areas as well. The projects lead to an amateur radio satellite ground station. The text is available on Amazon.
