LW Amateur Radio Club
The LW Amateur Radio Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. ham, also known as amateur radio, Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios play a vital role in emergency communications.
They work without relying on any existing infrastructure, making them ideal in disasters like earthquakes and wildfires.
Beyond protecting themselves and their families, people who learn how to use radios to communicate can help others during a communication outage.
Volunteers are needed for every Mutual. Anyone interested in ham, FRS or GMRS is welcome to attend a club meeting and meet the club’s helpful, diverse and talented members. For more information, call 562-431-6586, ext. 2409.
