Welcome to the Owensboro Amateur Radio Club!

Thanks for stopping by to visit our website! If you have not yet joined the wonderful world of Amateur Radio by obtaining your license, there is no time like the present to get started. The initial ham license is the Technician license and the exam consists of just 35 questions. There are several online sites where you can study for the exam and take a practice test, and there are also books, e.g. the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th Edition, that can be purchased directly from the Amateur Radio Relay League’s website or from Amazon. .

Whether you are a new ham, a seasoned ham, or not yet licensed, we invite you to attend our next club meeting which will be on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:00 p.m. in classroom 18A of the Owensboro Community Technical College building at 1501 Frederica Street in Owensboro, KY. We would love to have you as a member!

A special note to all of you who are already members: At our November 18 meeting, we will be choosing our board of directors for 2026 including a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and a director at large. There are two other director positions: (1) the immediate past president director which will be filled by Tom Johnson, KO4PVE unless he chooses to run for another office. and (2) the repeater trustee director who is Art Jackson, W4TOY. So please attend and help select the OARC leadership for next year.
