From the President
Welcome! The Amateur Radio Club (W5TC) is a registered student organization of the University of Oklahoma. Our ARRL-affiliated club has existed since the 1920’s, and is currently connected with the School of Meteorology. Our club repeater is the N5MS repeater (146.88-) located on the Physical Sciences building, and we have a “mini-shack” on the observation deck of the National Weather Center on the south campus of the University. We participate in numerous contests (including ARRL Field Day) and volunteer events throughout the year.
If you’re a ham on campus, an alum, or just interested in amateur radio, we’d love to have you on board! Our regular monthly meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. Check the Events calendar for the location (which varies from month to month). Our membership dues are a very affordable $15 per year and give members access to a steadily-growing inventory of radio equipment. Thanks for your interest!
