Description: 
This week's Friday lunch will be held at Grindhouse Killer Burgers, near the Mellow Mushroom in Brookhaven. It will not be at Los Bravos.
We used to have our Friday lunches at a bistro in Chamblee, but it was closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving. So we used to pick another restaurant to go to for just that Friday. We're continuing the tradition.
Come join us for lunch. Our events are always open to EVERYONE. The food is good, the talk is great. 

The Tech-UGA game will have been played the night before so there should be plenty to talk about.

Description: The Atlanta Radio Club is planning an outing  where (description goes here) This outing isn't just an operating event. It's educational, too.
Everyone who wants to get on the air will get on the air, either by using your own radio or by using one of ours. If you have a radio but no portable power supply come on out, there will be extra batteries AND Anderson Power Poles can be installed on your power connections as needed. If you need an antenna for your radio, you can hook up to one of ours. We'll get you on the air even if you don't have a license (it's legal). Come on by.
The pavilion we use is dry; rain or shine we will be there. So if you want to come out and set up - come on out and set up.
Some snacks, soft drinks and water, will be available.

We helped a ham whose license expired in the 1980s. He was a Technician then, which is equivalent to a General today. He took and passed the Technician test and will be reinstated with a General license. He was pretty happy.

WORKED ALL GEORGIA AWARD

The Atlanta Radio Club, with the support of the Georgia Section of the ARRL, is proud to support the "Worked All Georgia" Award. The WAG Award is open to radio amateurs who can provide proof of two-way radio amateur radio contact with all 159 counties in the state of Georgia. This award is nice complement to the annual Georgia QSO Party, which in fact would be a good time to work on some of those hard-to-get counties. The award is embodied in a nice certificate.
More information can be found here.

CLUB HISTORY

The Atlanta Radio Club (ARC) was founded in March 1911. It is believed to be the longest continually operating non-university club in Georgia (Georgia Tech was founded earlier). With over 100 members, ARC activities include meetings, operating events, training sessions, membership outings, and community service activities in Metro-Atlanta.

​The ARC helps operate the Atlanta Hamfestival and owns, operates or supports 11 repeaters around the metro area.  In an average month, the club will hold a regular membership meeting, a tech/training session or operating outing, publish the Atlanta Ham newsletter, have 8 lunch outings and host over 20 nets via club repeaters.

SISTER Club - Geelong Amateur Radio Club - VK3ATL

Did you know the Atlanta Radio Club has a sister club?

In 2010, Dallas Jones (VK3DJ) from Drysdale, Victoria in Australia visited the United States to meet some friends he met on the air. "During his travels, he visited the Atlanta Radio Club and from all accounts had a great time with the guys."
