About The Club

The Club started about 1950 with the members meeting in their homes. The original name of the Club was the Clovis Curry County Radio Club. About December of 1980 they changed the name to Eastern New Mexico amateur radio club. At this time, they also became affiliated with the ARRL. The club currently has over thirty members. We meet every Wed. night for a friendly get together at the clubhouse on the Clovis Community College Campus in, Bldg #206 (under the big antenna) just off Schepps blvd, starting at 7:00 PM. Business meetings will be held every other month, starting in February. These meetings will be held in conjunction with a club breakfast. Time and place to be announced at a later date. Hoping for a good turnout!!

Activities

The Club is active in storm spotting and emergency communications for the local community. We also (Elmer) teach new comers about Ham Radio and all of its associated benefits. These include the ability to talk to people from all around the globe. It is possible to talk to the astronauts when they have time, as the shuttle flights now have hams on board.

Digital

There are many modes or types of communicating available in Ham Radio. C.W. or Morse code was the first to come. Later came A.M. and F.M. , then ssb. Now we have many forms of digital communications, such as Echolink, Packet, IRLP, RTTY, PSK31, APRS, and the list goes on. We even do amateur television. If you can imagine it, it can be done Via Ham Radio. We have satelites orbiting around the earth, and some even bounce signals off the moon and meteor showers.Come Join the fun of Ham Radio with someone in your area.
