Our Links
These are some of the many links that our members refer to for their web resources.
As a reminder, Amateur Radio is a non-commercial radio communication service whose primary aims are public service, technical training and experimentation, and communication between private persons. Amateur Radio operators often communicate with each other recreationally but also provide communications for others at public events or in times of emergency or disaster.
