Who knows, you likely bring a skill or an experience level to the club that others will see as valuable too.Īnother area where belonging to a club brings benefits is in the area of what I call “the big project.” If there is a need for a tower to be erected, or some other large job, club members can be counted on to band together to get it done, whether for the club as a group, or for the benefit of an individual member. By joining a club and participating actively in it, you can avail yourself of the friendships and social contacts that the club provides. They may be expert gardeners, woodworkers or collectors. Most Radio Amateurs have more interests than just Amateur Radio. Down the road, someone will be asking you similar questions and suddenly you realise that you have become the expert that newcomers look to for help. If you belong to a club, it is a simple task to ask another member with more experience for help or advice. Trying to work it out alone can be difficult to say the least. It could be equipment related or antenna related or any of dozens of other problems. Inevitably, at some point the new Amateur Radio operator is going to come up against a problem. Within the home, the space available for Amateur Radio might be a whole room, or it might be just a little space on a desk somewhere. People live in different kinds of communities and have different restrictions on what they can put up for antennas. Club members can make sense of the choices and direct the tyro to solutions that make sense for his or her unique situation. Where the question of equipment is concerned, the choices are overwhelming. Most Radio Amateurs are only too happy to explain it to someone else as well. Being in a club allows one to absorb some of the language just by hearing it in context. For the newcomer, the lingo can be very intimidating. Some of the answers can be found in books or online, but like any hobby, Amateur radio has a lingo all its own. When anyone first gets into radio as a hobby, they have questions, lots of questions. We can offer support to you while obtaining you Amateur Radio License.Radio is a great hobby and one of the best ways to get involved is by joining a club. This could be from Short Wave listening, receiving digital packet, weather faxes, listening to scanners or what ever radio hobby you have.
