Amateur radio operators are your friends, neighbors, and relatives — movie stars, missionaries, doctors, students, politicians, truck drivers, and everyday people. Operators come from all walks of life, spanning every age, background, and profession, united by a shared interest in wireless communication. There are more licensed amateur radio operators in the United States today than at any point in history.
As of June 2022, the FCC reported more than 775,000 active amateur radio licenses in the United States, representing just a portion of an estimated 3 million operators worldwide.
That spirit is very much alive here in Washington County. The Washington County Amateur Radio Club is proud to have more than 60 members and growing, representing a diverse and active community of operators from across the region. Whether they are ragchewing on a local repeater, volunteering at a community event, or chasing contacts during a contest, our members reflect everything that makes amateur radio such a rewarding hobby. We would love for you to be a part of it.
