If everyone follows this form it makes it easier to edit and
maintain the list. I see this format changing as the list grows
and new concerns become raised. Please address your email to me
as follows FAQ -(name of school). For example...
Subject: FAQ - Cornell University
This makes it easy for me to move the mail around and put it in
the right folders. I am working on getting this information into
a database which will let me change the FAQ around easier and put
it in alphabetical order. Watch this space.
The FAQ is now in alphabetical order, great day indeed.

HISTORY
Oldest license found - 5YM - dated 6/4/20, but there is anecdotal
evidence that we may have been licensed in 1914. The station was
active in the early '20s prior to the opening of KFMQ, the U of A's
first broadcast station. Logs have been found for the '32-'34 period
when the station (*W*5YM) was active on 'phone using a Class B
modulation amplifier built as a class project. Loy Barton, inventor
of Class B, was a graduate and faculty member of the U of A.
Haven't found any relics from '34 - '49. 1949 we were granted
W5JNI and our station was in the then-Business Admin building.
We suspect the trustee knew nothing of the previous station as
he was not in engineering. We returned to W5YM in 1952 and the
club has been going strong pretty much ever since.

HISTORY
I worked on this last year. Essentially, we were formed
in 1914 as one of the first stations on the west coast.
We started DX receiving experiments at this time, and
soon established skeds with the University of Washington
and a few other schools. Our first call was 6BB and dates
back to at least 1920. I think oneof our members was the
first woman to get a commercial radiotelephone operators
license in 1924. Early on we were also connected withthe
commercial station here at Cal, and did early broadcasts
from football games, alumni dinners, etc. Club fell into
decline in the1930's, but was revived after the war,
and has followed typical boomand bust cycles since.

HISTORY
We're still looking for our roots, but have narrowed it down to 1947.
That's about as good as it gets for now, but we're looking for more
history on our club.
Our club is an Engineering Department affiliated club, but recently we're
attracting members from other walks of life, adding to our diversity.
We're involved in ARES/RACES, with our station being capable of running
on our own emergency generator at a moment's notice.
We've recently obtained a high-level mountaintop site, and are working on
the basics there (ie: electricity, antenna masts, etc) and look forward
to expanding our local coverage. Current plans for the mountaintop include:
440 repeater linked to our 146.760 repeater on campus (w/autopatch)
2m crossband repeater (linked to 440 repeater) with two-tone paging
capabilities for ARES/RACES callouts
2m repeater on the WALA (Western Amateur Linking Association) system
2m digipeater on the Packet DX-Cluster
440 digipeater for high-speed digital (56kb?) for real-time Internet
Interests of individual club members includes DXing, ARES/RACES, FM
voice, packet, ATV, and 10GHz digital.

GTARC was started by 1927 for sure, and we believe that it may have
existed as early as 1911- we're still trying to corroborate that info.
We have approxi- mately 50 members or so, who operate on all bands
and all modes, especially while contesting! The club has an email
server at [email protected], or you can send mail to the

to hear from any interested folks out there, especially those who
are or have been associated with Tech or the club.

HISTORY
The club has been around for many years. The original
club was W0YI. It was founded over 75 years ago. The
W0YI club call is still maintained here at ISU by one
of our faculty members.
Our club has approximately 20 members who are somewhat
active. There are many more hams here at ISU, but many
of them are too busy with their studies and other clubs
to become involved with the CARC. We are always in
search of new membership.
Our members can usually be found on 2meters or 70cm.
At this point in time, there is very little HF activity
in the club.
Our club has been involved at ISU for many years. We have
meetings several times per month. Every spring, we set up
an open house display and help with communications for the
annual VEISHEA celebration, which is the largest student-run
event of its kind in the United States. We provide
communications for the VEISHEA parade, calling tow trucks,
ambulances, and the police if the need arises.
It is best for new prospective members or people
interested in the club to call me or Clyde Walter at
the numbers above. I am only at ISU during the Fall and
Spring semesters, while Clyde is a professor who is here
year around if the need arises to contact the club in the
summer months.

JCARS offered amateur radio classes from 1981 thru 1993 for the college
students as well as local citizens. We are going to resume these classes
this winter as well as offering licensing exams on a regular basis as we have
in the past.

HISTORY
The MTSU club has been around since at least the 1960s, first as a
trusteeship of the Dept. of Industrial Studies, and now under the
Dept. of Computer Science. Membership has been small because the
historic mission of the University was that of a teacher's college
(thankfully that's changing). The Raider Amateur Radio Club is a
key player in the packet radio field, and its members provide part
of the core support in a project to bring high-speed (56k bps and
up) packet connectivity to the entire state of Tennessee, from
Mountain City to Memphis.

HISTORY
The Northwestern Amateur Radio Society dates back until late
40s or early 50s. It has been affiliated with the McCormick
school of Technology and the department of Electrical
Engineering since its inception. The club has achieved many
awards over the years, including one of the very early 5-band
DXCC's.
In 1991 a storm took down our main tower and antenna, and the
shack had fallen into disrepair. However, in 1992 Drs. Allen
Taflove and Alan Sahakian took over the faculty advisor
position, and launched an effort to bring the station back on
the air. In the summer of 1992 a new tower was erected at a
better rooftop spot than before at a cost of over $10,000, and
faculty and student members together cleaned and renovated the
shack, and the old transceiver equipment was replaced. We
also pulled in Ethernet cabling for Internet, and got a
computer (w9bgx.nuars.nwu.edu).
We are currently looking into holding a course in the
Department of Electrical Engineering which will use the
resources of the Amateur Radio club, and hope it will increase
student participation.

W2SZ sports its own Usenet Newsgroup. It's rpi.union.ham-radio.
Some off campus systems may not be able get it.
HISTORY
W2SZ was originally created as 2SZ by the Troy YMCA around 1910. It
was turned over to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1917 where
it has been providing services to its members and the community
ever since.
The station provides Amateurs with an opportunity to keep in contact
with friends at home as well as providing for the learning of radio
and basic electronics. The station also provides a friendly and
relaxed atmosphere where members can come to get away from the
stress of classes and work.
W2SZ, known to members are Zed, is a friendly group of people that
are willing to share their knowledge and help those who have an
interest in ham radio to get, or advance, their license. In addition
they are willing to share their knowledge in the proper maintenance
and operation of both club and personal equipment.
The club currently consists of about 30 members and is located at
Six Sunset Terrace, Troy, NY. It also has contact with many of the
past members who have long since graduated from RPI, or community
members who live in the Troy area. It provides the members with
many contacts, and also provides the community with a viable method
of communication through the repeaters that the club has. In
addition to day to day communications, W2SZ also offers lines of
communication during periods of crisis. Examples of the Club's
community involvement were during the San Francisco earthquake,
and during Operation Desert Storm.

HISTORY:
Formed at some time around 1930, but known to be in operation by 1936 as the
"Radio Club," encompassing both amateur and broadcast interests. (The
University of Rhode Island was previously known as the Rhode Island State
College until the 1950s.) Members played an active role in the founding of one
of the original eleven college broadcast radio stations, now WRIU-FM.
Civil defense commitments have included operations during the Great Hurricane
of 1938 and Hurricane Carol of 1954, in addition to numerous other situations.
At various times, the club has done work in earth-moon-earth, satellite,
microwave, and similarly exotic modes. URI ARC was among the first stations in
New England to use packet radio.
Located for many years in Lippitt Hall, the club station was relocated to the
top floor of the Taft Experimental Laboratory in 1986. Taft antedates the
university itself by several years, having been built in 1889 to house the old
agricultural experiment station which previously occupied the site of the
Kingston Campus.
The W1KMV club station license was allowed to lapse, but was renewed by special
FCC permission in 1982. Trustees for W1KMV since the renewal have included
Wilson Lamb, K4OGP (now N5LFB?), and Prof. Ralph England, WA1YDR.

HISTORY
We have a club call W0QEV that has been ours at least since 1947
which is the oldest log that we can find. The league claims that
we have been affiliated with them since 1949 which makes us one
of the older if not oldest club station in the zero call region.
This far back though and nobody really knows. Someday we will have
to search though old call books from just after the war to see just
when that call appears.
The club started as part of the department of electrical engineering
here. It became a student union organization around a decade ago and
as a result has a steady source of funds. As far as membership, if
only that was as steady as funding. The club has students,
graduate students, professors, university staff and even alumni.
Probably around 20 members but only half that many are easy to
get a hold of. There are always to few undergrads!
An addendum to the above. After the war st. louis became part of
the zero district as opposed to the old nine district. We have
reason to believe that the club was around even before the war,
but don't know under which call or how we can research this.
The ARRL doesn't know and the fcc doesn't even bother with this
type of stuff.
