Purpose
The San Mateo Radio Club serves the Amateur Radio community in San Mateo and the surrounding communities on the San Francisco peninsula since 1946. The club provides a focus for its members to share common interests in the many varied aspects of a great hobby. Support emergency preparedness, helps newcomers to get on the air, and encourages growth in more experienced operators. The club promotes the exchange of knowledge and skills among members. The club’s goal is to improve its member’s technical and operating capabilities and to foster fellowship. Join us each summer for our big event of the year - ARRL Field Day - we operate 24 hours talking to numerous amateur radio operators across the states and beyond at Beresford Park in San Mateo on the 4th full weekend in June each year.
Meetings
The San Mateo Radio Club meets on the third Friday of the month at 7:15 pm on Zoom and in person at the Congregational Church of San Mateo. Each meeting has a presentation on a topic of interest in amateur radio. There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get help with problems.
NOTICE: As of March 2026 we will no longer use Meetup to announce meetings.

Club Calendar (use this starting March 1 2026)
The in-person meeting location is The Congregational Church of San Mateo - parking entrance is on Catalpa St. Please watch our short video for directions, as the path to the meeting room is not as obvious as you may think. The parking lot does not have an “official” address, but Google Maps works with "Little Wonders Parking Lot", near 226 Catalpa Street, San Mateo CA (Little Wonders is a day care center at the church). We meet in the Betsy Woodward Christian Education building, the Will Bullis Community Room, 2nd Floor. This congregational church allows SMRC to use its meeting room free of charge. They may be interested in eventually becoming an emergency response coordination center, and emergency ham radio communications could be needed at that time.
Membership
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in amateur radio. The annual dues are $25.
