Our Satellite antenna

The Amateur Radio Club is one of the oldest campus organizations, dating from 1941. We maintain an HF and VHF/UHF amateur radio station on campus. Our old location in Engineering III was demolished in 2003. We now have a station set up on the 5th floor of Harold Frank Hall, with antennas for 80 - 6meters. Our station consists of an FT847, TS850, and an SB-220 amp. The antennas are a Force 12 C4SXL and a Cushcraft 5 element 6m beam. The height above ground is 130 feet.

Use of the station is limited to licensed radio amateurs, but all are welcome to join the club.
