Chandler Ham Radio Club
Our mission is to promote not only the technical but also the social side of amateur radio. To work to increase the pool of licensed amateur radio operators by providing training and testing to those interested. To continue to promote new technologies and to expand the use of these in all areas of communication. But foremost to always be ready to assist in emergency and non-emergency events by providing a reliable source of communication to local agencies.

Some of the Things You Will Learn
When it comes to getting the most enjoyment out of Amateur Radio, there is nothing more important than your antenna system. You can purchase the best ham transceiver on the planet, but if your antenna system is poor, your investment will largely go to waste.
Antenna Basics
We maintain a transcoding multi-mode reflector that supports all digital modes so that everyone can enjoy digital voice regardless of the hardware they choose to own.
Digital Voice
Transmitter Hunting, or Foxhunting, is a popular way to combine outdoor activity with the amateur radio hobby. The "Fox" hides a hidden transmitter, and the hunters use direction finding techniques to locate it.
Transmitter Hunting
Take part in portable operations using radio equipment when traveling. "Portable" equipment indicates a configuration that allows for relatively rapid collection, transportation, and deployment of amateur radio gear. A portable station can be anything from a small QRP (Low Power) radio and antenna, to a large transceiver.
