- Brownwood Amateur Radio Club

Brownwood Amateur Radio Club

Amateur, or “ham,” radio is a licensed service regulated by the FCC, made up of hobbyists and volunteers who often provide vital communications during emergencies when normal systems fail. From floods and wildfires to grid failures, hams step in with equipment and networks ready to support Brown County and the surrounding communities.

Getting started is simple: study a bit, pass a test—no Morse code required—and you’re licensed. With an affordable transceiver, you can join the fun.
