Welcome

The Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio CLub is a general-purpose club with the goal of promoting and supporting the educational and operational aspects of ham radio through ham radio class, on-the-air events and hands-on activity. The club meets informally at 7:00 AM every Saturday at Perkins in Olathe, with the club’s business meeting occurring at 7:30 AM on the first Saturday of each month. A Tech Demo is presented quarterly on the third Friday the month at 7:00 PM. Check the WEB calendar for details and any changes in time, date or location.

The Santa Fe Trail Amateur Radio Club is open to membership for all currently licensed Hams, and anyone who is interested in becoming a Ham. The club does require a membership fee, as shown on the application, to help cover the club’s expenses.
