What is Amateur Radio All About
Amateur radio (Ham Radio) is a hobby and service that uses radio waves for non-commercial communication, experimentation, and community support. It connects people across the globe, fosters technical learning, and plays a vital role in emergencies when other systems fail
Getting/Upgrading Your License
ECARC provides dedicated Volunteer Examiners to administer official license examinations in the Amateur Radio Service. Our friendly and organized testing sessions are conducted on the third Tuesday of each month, except during December holidays.
A vanity call sign is like a custom license plate for ham radio. Instead of using a randomly assigned identifier, operators can choose a call sign that reflects their personality, initials, club, or brand. It’s a way to stand out on the airwaves, making every transmission uniquely yours.
