About W7YH

The Rho Epsilon Amateur Radio Club was formally founded at Washington State University (then Washington State College) in 1911 by H.V. Carpenter, Homer Dana and Royal Sloan as the first university ham radio club in the world.

Our goal is to reestablish the club as a means for those interested in amateur radio to meet each other and share ideas. Hopefully the club will foster experimentation and facilitate an operating station for amateur radio.

Antenna Donation Received, need help for Crane

Thu, 01/07/2010 - 12:08 — kusznir

A local ham has donated his tower and HF beams, covering 10m through 40 meters to the club!

Unfortunately, we do need to rent a crane to come and take them down, and we need to do that by the 16th.  This is where we need some help:  Click on the link to the right to donate and chip in.  We need to raise about $300 by early next week to make this happen.  If you can help, we'd greatly appreciate it.  All donations are tax deductable.

Thanks for your help!

Amateur Radio General and Extra License Training Material

There are three classes of Amateur Radio License available in the US, Technician, General, and Extra. Each class provides slightly more privileges than the former. Passing the Technician Class exam will get you full privileges on amateur radio bands above 30 MHz (VHF, UHF, microwave and up). General Class adds many bands below 30 MHz, and Extra class allows more access to these bands.
