Edmond Amateur Radio Society began with a few Amateur Radio operators meeting at each other’s homes in the 1950’s. The group expanded by helping others interested in Amateur Radio to obtain their operator licenses. The organization as we know it today began in 1957.
Get Involved in the Fun!
The EARS club is an active community. We regularly meet socially in person for dinners and board meetings as well as for “nets”, which are meetings held on the air. We help with communications for local Emergency Management during storm season and in disaster situations and for local events throughout the year, such as Cycle 66, the Memorial Marathon, various parades. One of our busiest times is Edmond’s LibertyFest, which is just around the corner. We help with communications and other tasks for the Rodeo, the Liberty Fest Parade, and Fireworks. There is a place for you whether you have your license yet or not!
Get Licensed!
Amateur radio, aka Ham radio, is widely varied. Whether you are preparing for a disaster, you love tinkering with and building electronics, or you want to make contacts with people all over the world, there is something here for your interests! Obtaining your Technician Class License is just the beginning of learning about all things Ham radio. EARS offers a free test prep course in the spring and the fall to help you learn what you need to know to pass your Technician Class License exam.
