The first meeting of 2024 will have a presentation providing an Introduction to the Raspberry Pi computers, a device used by many hams and home experimenters.

Ham Radio is an exciting, useful, educational, and high tech hobby.  Its members are a diverse group of people from around the world: astronauts, students, teachers, doctors, and retirees are just some of the people involved.  You never know who your next contact will be when you are "on the air". 

Ham Radio (also known as Amateur Radio) is administered by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). One is required to study for and take a test to acquire a license to operate a Ham Radio.  After passing the test, the FCC will assign a call sign.  With your license and call sign, you may use your radio station (two-way radios, computers, antenna, satellites, and other equipment) to make contacts around the world. 

Ham Radio operators may also:

• Provide communications for public events

• Design and make radios and antennas

• Make contacts via satellite

• Use hand-held radios for local communication

• Provide emergency communications.

Anthem Amateurs of Sun City is an organization of residents of Sun City Anthem who are licensed Ham Radio operators and non-licensed residents with an interest in Amateur Radio and community service.  Membership is open to all residents of Sun City Anthem.  We have no membership fees at this time.  We encourage emergency preparedness and provide access to related training.  We participate in two National Field Day events annually.
