KY4ARC was formed in February 2006. Like most clubs it has seen its membership fluctuate over the years. But recently we have had a big increase in membership and interest in Amateur Radio’s many aspects.  Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings and find out if this is something you would be interested in getting into.

 

IF you are interested in taking a test for amateur radio license, contact a member of our ARRL VE team to arrange for the test. We will schedule the test or you can come to any club meeting at 6:00 PM . Effective immediately you must have a frn (federal registration number)before the test can be given.

Winter Field Day 2024

January 27th and 28th, 2024

The club’s next event will be Winter Field Day and so far, it is scheduled to be held at the Oil Springs Fire Department #2, located near the top of the hill going into Paintsville Lake State Park.  It is across the road from the big cemetery.

For those that don’t know, this is an exercise to practice communications from a remote site.  It includes setting up antennas, radio gear and any supporting accommodations to make contacts over a 24 hour period from 2:00 pm Saturday to 2:00 pm Sunday.  Each contact consists of exchanging the number of transmitters and our ARRL section.  It’s good training for emergencies when radio communications might be the only way contact other parts of the nation or world.  And it is a lot of fun.  So if you or anyone you know is interested in ham radio, come on out to operate or just to observe.  All are welcome.
