As we welcome in a new year, ARRL is introducing a year-long effort to shine the spotlight on radio clubs. Clubs are the critical backbone of our community — of our hobby. Clubs routinely serve as the entry point for newcomers to amateur radio. I could fill pages with wonderful memories I have, from Ramapo High School ARC and Fair Lawn ARC, to Field Days with the Ramapo Mountain ARC, to my participation with the Frankford Radio Club. Activities. Friends. Learning. Accomplishment. Great times.
During 2026, we want you to be inspired by all the things that your club is already good at — and take the time to thank and recognize your volunteer leaders for sustaining a wonderful club experience. There are new activities that your club can take on, including the possibility of merging with another local club to ensure that one combined is stronger than the two apart. You’ll see us promoting content in different forms related to the MARCONI (Motivating Amateur Radio Clubs to Open New Initiatives) program created by the Meriden ARC of Wallingford, Connecticut.
We will also be looking to expand on our hugely successful ARRL Affiliated Clubs program. Again, we routinely see clubs at the 75- and 100-year marks of affiliation being recognized by the ARRL Board — and sometimes we’ve been excited to welcome those clubs to ARRL HQ and have pictures taken with them on the steps of W1AW! Affiliation, to me, shows that club members are committed to the success of ARRL’s efforts to promote and protect amateur radio, and to develop the next generation of radio-active members.
Coincidentally, 2026 is also the semiquincentennial of our country. As a part of the America250 celebrations, we too will be participating by adding awards for Worked All States (WAS) and WAS Triple Play. Where do clubs fit into the pursuit of these single-year awards? We are working with the Section Managers and club leaders to offer the opportunity to operate as W1AW/portable to get all 50 states on the air in support of the awards. This was a very exciting part of ARRL’s Centennial in 2014! I even worked W1AW/portable stations back then using the Hellschreiber mode just to get my count up with two more contacts!
To inspire the competitive nature of members in your club, we have launched two initiatives to spur innovation and creative thinking. Competitions are under
way for the best club newsletters and the best club websites. The intention is to recognize those clubs that excel in these forms of communicating with their members and the community at large, and to offer best practices to those clubs open to learning and “shamelessly stealing” from others! We’ve seen some fantastic work done on both fronts with efforts that go far beyond simply leveraging social media for their platform(s). Follow all of the ARRL Year of the Club programming at www.arrl.org/year-of-the-club
What projects or ideas have you had for your club?
A kit night, building club co-sponsored projects while others learn from your experience? A tech night where folks drag in their test equipment and toolboxes to diagnose pesky circuit problems? Hilltopping with microwave dishes or lasers to experience the very high end of our spectrum allocations? Doing an antenna expedition to a beach or mountaintop to see how these enhance HF propagation? Don’t feel limited or restricted. Ideas are great — but executing them and seeing the results is where the satisfaction and enjoyment are found for you and your club!
During Year of the Club, be radio active! Earn your ARRL America250 WAS awards. Be a connector! Get together with club members and put some of your collective ideas to work! Have a great year, and see you on the air — maybe from some W1AW activations!

Club Spotlight
The San Angelo Amateur Radio Club
are almost always a few new people. They ask attendees to give their call signs and to tell everyone how long they’ve been hams, but they spend the most time on the club program for the evening, which in a series of recent meetings focused on repairing a vintage Heathkit receiver and transmitter pair. After each meeting, the executive committee makes sure to hang around and talk with newcomers about what brought them out.

February
11 – 20, 2021
As many as 10 inches of snow accumulated in San Angelo, Texas, causing much of the local power grid to fail. A massive winter storm that would later be called The Great Texas Freeze blanketed almost the entire state with enduring cold, ice, and snow. During the storm, Dave Mulvey, K5DCM, a newish ham in San Angelo, frequented the W5QX repeater. He chatted sometimes with an elderly operator, Denny Mills, KI5MCR, about the power outages and other local news. It would later turn out that Denny lived down the street from Dave. After reading a social media post about the utility shutting down water to his part of the city because of a leaky pipe, Dave put out a QST announcement on W5QX relaying the information, just in case. Denny didn’t have a working cell, telephone, computer, or television, so he hadn’t heard about the impending shutdown. He filled up his bathtub, flushed his toilets, and laid by enough water to get him through. It was a small thing, important to maybe just one person, but it’s indicative of the kind of impact ham radio can have on a community.
ARRL Affiliation Date: Sept. 27, 1954
Meetings: Monthly
Website: www.w5qx.org
“Are we [hams] going to save the world?” Dave asked when I spoke with him about the San Angelo Amateur Radio Club (SAARC), where he is now Vice President. “Probably not. But are we going to be able to help somebody?” The answer to that question depends on how prepared and connected a radio amateur is, and local clubs, like SAARC, play a major role in making sure their members answer with a resounding “Yes.” In SAARC’s case, it’s not because the club’s sole focus is on emergency communications or because it sponsors the local National Weather Service Skywarn® repeater for Tom Green County and its backup, K5CMW. Instead, it’s because SAARC welcomes members of all skill levels and has done the legwork to integrate within the greater Concho Valley.
A Welcoming Club
Over the last 5 years, the club has worked to welcome anyone interested in radio communications. Dave told me that during meetings they spend as little time as possible on formal business before moving on to introductions, because there
Community Outreach and Service
A big part of SAARC’s success depends on the relationships it has built with people and institutions throughout the San Angelo community and the value the club brings to those relationships. The 2024 exhibit “Radio Pioneers of San Angelo” that Dave Mulvey researched and helped curate at ASU’s Mayer Museum explored “all facets of the radio industry, including the first generation of radio enthusiasts in San Angelo,” according to the Mayer Museum’s exhibit description. Around 10,000 people visited during its 6-month run.
SAARC members Christena Parks, KI5WBZ, and Jim Atcheson, KI5WCB, table at gun shows throughout the region under a radio communications banner, license manuals and information spread in front of them. They talk up ham radio with anyone who’s interested. The Great Texas Freeze inspired both of them to get licensed, and staying connected during disasters motivates much of the interest in ham radio that they see. As Jim said, “When the cells go down, you can still reach out. It’s a tremendous utility.”
ARRL’s mission: To advance the art, science, and enjoyment of Amateur Radio.
