About Us

We are a group of Amateur Radio operators, generally from the Yavapai County area in Arizona, who share common interests, goals, and aspirations.

Our monthly meetings are held at the Cottonwood Public Safety Building the third Wednesday of the month, with driving directions located here. October and May meetings are held on the Prescott side of the hill. Check here for current meeting place and time. Join us at our Christmas party in December.

There are monthly breakfast get-togethers in Cottonwood, Chino Valley and Prescott Valley. There are currently weekly lunch get-togethers in the Prescott area. Specific information is available by contacting Steve Pearson, KC7TIL, the Breakfast and Luncheon Social Director.
