We want you to be a part of Athens Radio Club - KD4QHB

The club’s latest meeting was April 1, 2025 starting at 7:30 p.m.

Designing, building and tuning portable wire antennas was the topic presented by N4JAH This was a followup to the club get-together at Watson Mill Bridge State Park on March 15th.
