The KB1BXH callsign is used for many activities.
A QSL card is required by the club from all members using the callsign for confirmed QSO's and for the exchange of QSL card information.  So please inquire as to who the authorized operator is when making a contact and how they wish you to QSL . The Callsign Trustee is AA1PR.

The yearly due is also a homebrew project of your choice. Which is then presented at a regular meeting.
We do not emphasis on club politics but rather the technical aspect of the hobby. This is our common interest. This has kept the club strong and alive for many years since its inception in early 1994.
