Ham Radio Club
NPC’s very own Ham Radio club invites all students, staff, and their families to join in this fascinating, socially interactive, and low-cost hobby. The NPC Ham Radio Club is ready to assist in acquiring FCC licensing, training on equipment, and putting these new-found skills to practical use.
Amateur operators today communicate via Morse code, voice, pictures, video, and even digital data. Ham operators can communicate with other hams around the world and even off it - many astronauts are also hams and have been known to communicate with the more Earth-bound of us fairly often. Let’s get started!
