Membership in the Mid-State Amateur Radio Club is open to anyone with an interest in amateur radio, short wave listening (SWL) or electronics.
You do not have to be a licensed amateur radio operator to be a member.
Club meetings are held on the third Saturday of each month, except for the September picnic lunch, at the Johnson County REMC, 750 International Drive in Franklin beginning at 8:00 AM.
Presentations and demonstrations on a variety of radio-related topics and equipment are generally scheduled at the beginning of meetings.
We offer VE Testing for FCC Amateur Radio licenses after meetings except after the September and December meetings. You must pre-register for Technician, General and Amateur Extra exams.
