Nestled within Dutchess County, New York, the QSY Society Amateur Radio Club (K2QS) is a unique and welcoming space dedicated to fostering a love for ham radio. Founded with an open-door ethos, QSY Society welcomes anyone interested in amateur radio, licensed or not, to join in exploring this multifaceted hobby in a setting where "no dumb questions" and "no smart answers" are the club's guiding principles. Meetings are held bi-monthly at the Poughkeepsie Galleria, making it an accessible gathering point for enthusiasts from the surrounding area.
A Club Defined by Inclusivity and Lifelong Membership
QSY Society takes a refreshing approach to membership: it's entirely free, and every member is a life member. The club is organized by "Coordinators" rather than traditional officers, highlighting its informal and member-driven spirit. With over 380 members, QSY Society stands as a vibrant community where knowledge-sharing, mentoring, and mutual support are at the core of every meeting.
Activities and Community Engagement
The club’s specialties include contests, digital modes, DXing, public service, and VHF/UHF operations, providing a rich variety of topics for members to dive into. By offering mentorship and bi-monthly gatherings, QSY Society creates opportunities for learning, connecting, and growing within the ham radio world.
