WSU Ham/Amateur Radio Club (W7YH)

Check out this info for stations that will be operating during School Club Roundup; planned schedules on the first sheet and stations will update the second when they are on the air with what frequency they are on and other info:

For those interested in getting a ham license upgrade in time for School Club Roundup, or just want to get licensed, we'll be holding a license test in EEME 206 (across from the shack) at 4pm on Thursday, February 9th.  Bring yourself, your ID, $15 for the standard test fee, and if you're upgrading, a copy of your current license if you can.  All three tests will be available there.

Its time for the February edition of the School Club Roundup (SCR)!  This time has the potential to be our most active year yet.  Thanks to several interested members, and even a community member that offered to mentor, we should be able to have lots of operator hours, even for those without general or better licenses.

Just a heads up guys, the FCC ULS database has been updated and those of you at our tech class last week now have call signs and are authorized to transmit!

To get your call sign head over to the FCC ULS database, and do a search for your name or FRN. Congratulations to all!

Our Next General meeting will be next Thursday October 6th at the Ham Shack on the Second Floor of EME at 5:30 PM.

This meeting will be an orientation to the shack. We'll be running the radios and anyone who is interested will be able to give them a try. I strongly encourage you all to come by even if you don't have a license yet. As those of us with our licenses will be acting as control operators, unlicensed individuals are allowed to use the radios under our supervision.

After the School Club Roundup Contest in late October, we will be offering a two day crash course covering what you will need to know to get your first ham Radio license. This will be a two day class the weekend of October 22nd and 23rd. The class will be free, but there will be a $15 licensing fee that you will need to pay when you take the exam and the end of the class.

You will need an FCC Registranion Number when you go to take the Exam. If you do not have one, you can register for one from the FCC web site.

October 17th through October 21st is when this years School Club Roundup contest will be held. Ham's all over the nation will fire up their radios in the hope of scoring points by contacting as many school clubs as possible. This is a prime time for school clubs like ourselves to get on the air. The contest runs from 6AM every morning to 5PM each evening.

We recently hit a major milestone in this project: we have all paper approvals, engineering, and FAA permits in place!  We are ready to start construction.

Now all we need is the money to actually construct the project... If you can help, please make a donation using the "Donate" link on the right side of this page.
