In the heart of Pennsylvania, a group of radio enthusiasts gathers not only to explore the vast world of communication but to form a tight-knit community that thrives on collaboration, mentorship, and service. The South Central Radio Club (K3SCR), founded in 2021, is a beacon for all who are passionate about the art of amateur radio. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or a curious newcomer, the club welcomes anyone who shares an interest in radio communication.
The South Central Radio Club is not just about technical skills; it’s about bringing people together, fostering relationships, and enriching lives. The club’s diverse offerings range from traditional contests and digital modes to supporting school and youth groups. With a focus on VHF/UHF frequencies and repeaters, the club helps expand the reach of amateur radio across communities.
Meetings, typically held every second Thursday of the second month of each quarter via Zoom, provide members an opportunity to connect, share experiences, and discuss ongoing and future projects. The meetings are often a mix of technical discussions and social interactions, making them ideal for both beginners and more experienced operators alike.
The club is also committed to mentoring and supporting the next generation of amateur radio operators. By offering license test sessions, the South Central Radio Club ensures that new amateurs have the resources and guidance they need to succeed. Their Packet Radio BBS and repeater systems further enhance the club’s reach, ensuring that the signals of communication never fall silent, no matter the distance.
The officers of the South Central Radio Club are a dedicated team, spearheaded by Joshua Burleigh KC3OLO, the club’s president, and supported by Kathy J. Blosser KC3OSE (Treasurer), Christopher J. Althouse KC3UBI (Secretary), and David B. Donaldson KC3OSG (Vice President). Their collective effort ensures that the club stays vibrant, active, and focused on its mission of inclusivity, education, and public service.
As the South Central Radio Club continues to grow, it remains committed to its core principles: promoting the hobby of amateur radio, fostering an environment of mentorship, and using communication to serve the greater good. Whether you're looking to improve your radio skills, contribute to community projects, or simply connect with fellow operators, the South Central Radio Club offers a welcoming environment for all.
