Rock River Radio Club

Amateur radio operators seeking local community and emergency communications involvement often look for active clubs. The Rock River Radio Club (RRRC) provides a platform for hams in Wisconsin to participate in weekly nets and monthly meetings, fostering camaraderie and operational readiness. Their activities include regular ARES/RACES nets, which are crucial for maintaining proficiency in emergency communication protocols and equipment.

The club hosts weekly nets on both VHF/UHF and HF bands, allowing members to practice various modes and frequencies. These include a Monday evening net on the Juneau Repeater at 146.64 MHz (PL 123.0) and a Thursday evening net on the Knowles Repeater at 442.975 MHz (PL 123.0). An HF net operates on Saturdays at 3.947 MHz, with an additional ARES/RACES net on Sundays at 3.967 MHz.

Monthly club meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in Randolph, Wisconsin, providing a consistent gathering point for members and prospective hams. The club also engages in public demonstrations, such as those at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Dodge County Chapter Fly-In, showcasing amateur radio to a broader audience.
