About WASH
Who Are We? The Wireless Association of South Hills Amateur Radio Club is a non-profit organization, affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and dedicated to advancing the principles of amateur radio while making it fun for all who participate. Dissatisfied by some of the old school ways of thinking, the WASH Amateur Radio Club was founded in September 1993 by several amateur operators that were looking for new ways to enjoy their hobby. With the emphasis on enjoying the hobby, the WASH Amateur Radio Club has and continues to experience tremendous growth. Repeaters The WASH Repeaters are open for all licensed amateurs to use. They operate on 146.955 MHz, 443.650 Mhz and 442.550 MHz, all three utilizing a PL of 131.8 Hz. VE Sessions and Operator Licensing Amateur radio license exams are given at least 4 times per year. In 1995, we were the first club in many years to have a VE test session at Field Day. Membership There are several types of memberships available. Licensed amateurs are eligible for Full Membership. Non-licensed persons are eligible for associate memberships. Family memberships are also available. Members receive The WASHRag, our club newsletter. |
