Description

The Viking Amateur Radio Society was initially founded by employees of the EF Johnson plant, restricted to plant employees due to the club station being located inside the plant. The club later expanded its membership to include any licensed amateur or interested party. Although EF Johnson no longer operates in Waseca, MN, the club continues to hold regular meetings, focusing on activities such as ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services).
