This Sunday join Club members for the raising of an HF station at the Elmhurst Fire Department Training Facility – – We will gather at 10:30 am to put up an antenna, get the Club’s HF rig in place and connect it to our laptop for logging –

Then at Noon members will begin 6 hours of making contacts using the special event call sign W9Y – the object will be to get our members a positive HF experience – there will be members to coach and answer questions –

We have been radioactive for a number of years for this on-air operating event – Find out more about it – visit https://w9awe.org/ilqp/

Weekend Review Class – your way to earn an FCC Technician license

Saturday & Sunday, November 12th & 13th, the York Radio Club will once again offer instruction and testing – A program started almost 20 years ago by Chuck, K9PLX continues with materials updated for the 2022-26 license test pool of questions (and answers)

Those taking part in this unique approach of completing their review of the learning materials in a weekend’s time period have been rewarded with a very high passing rate – As always, it’s the student, but we’re glad to explain and answer questions before they test, with very high passing rates over the years.

The sign-up form is on our website
