Who We Are

Our club is committed to furthering growth of Amateur Radio by providing assistance
to anyone interested in becoming a HAM.

Our club was formed in 1981 by people with common interests, to share ideas and techniques.

We welcome guests and members of any age to join with us to learn and have fun.

Monthly General Meetings

We now hold hybrid (in person and via internet video) club meetings on the FIRST Thursday of each month at 7 pm at the Yamhill County Auditorium, 2050 NE Lafayette Ave., McMinnville, Oregon.

If you are not a member but would like to attend just show up and have a seat. You are always welcome.

Our repeater is on
146.640 MHz - 100 Hz tone

This weekly checkin/information net is each Monday at 7:00 pm and everyone is welcome to check in.

Topics may Include, but are not limited to:

  • Club announcements
  • Q and A
  • Items of Interest
  • Trivia, Ham radio or otherwise

Net control for
Monday evening nets

Being net control is easy and fun. You get to know the call signs of others and get practice using your radio while in an friendly environment with no pressure. Mistakes are acceptable and no one will shame you. Below is the pre-written preamble you read so you don't have to worry about what to say. You can volunteer for one week, several weeks or an entire month to be the Monday evening net control. The club greatly appreciates your service to our organization.

If you would like to volunteer please contact our president Mike McInnis HERE
