Radio Club
Welcome to our website
| The
Kachina ARC is a non-profit corporation serving the White
Mountains of Arizona. Our purpose is to further the exchange
of information and cooperation between members, to promote
radio knowledge, emergency communications, public service,
individual operation, classroom instruction, programs and
activities to advance the general interest and welfare of
Amateur Radio in the community. |
The Kachina ARC provides a wide variety of programs and activities for its members. These include hosting the White Mountain Hamfest each June, offering ham radio classes and amateur radio license testing to the public. Our annual picnic, holiday party and ARRL Field Day participation are all enjoyable events!
What is Amateur Radio?
Most of the time, it's the most
fun you can have with a radio. It's a way to talk with people around
the world, or even orbiting the world; to send e-mail without any
sort of internet connection and to keep in touch with friends across
town or across the country. But it is called the "Amateur Radio
Service"
because it also has a serious face. It's a very important emergency
communications system too. When cell phones, regular phones, the
internet and other systems are down or overloaded, Amateur Radio
still gets the message through. Radio amateurs, often called hams,
enjoy radio technology as a hobby thats the fun part. But it's also
a service a vital service that has saved lives again and again when
regular communication systems failed.
The Kachina ARC is affiliated as a club with the Amateur Radio Council of Arizona (ARCA) and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL).
