FAQ

What is Amateur Radio?
Best to read this article in Wikipedia - Amateur Radio.
Do I need to be a Xerox employee to become a member of the club?
The short answer is . . .No.  We do not turn away people who want to be involved in the club.  But not being a Xerox employee might limit your access to some of the club's assets.  Our club station is on Xerox property, and you could only use it if escorted by a employee.  Our repeater is open to everyone, but use of the autopatch is limited to employees.  But these issues shouldn't hinder access to club meetings or events, or access to the web pages.
Do I need to have a FCC license to become a member?
No.  All are welcome.  We would hope we could help you get a license.
