Smithsonian has an Amateur Radio Club!

Amateur radio, otherwise known as ham radio, is a popular hobby and service
that brings people, electronics, and communications together. People use
amateur radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space,
all without the internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and
can be a lifeline during times of need. Radio communications have many
research, educational and emergency applications.

The Smithsonian operated a full amateur radio station “NN3SI” in the
National Museum of American History from 1976-2008. In 2008, the amateur
radio station was taken offline and put into storage. Beginning in 2019,
amateur radio has returned as a new pan-Smithsonian activity, the
Smithsonian amateur radio group.

We have several radio communications activities planned over the next
several years, and we would love your participation. Whether you are an
experienced radio operator, or just interested to learn more, please join
us!

Our group is currently meeting monthly by remote using Zoom. For additional
information, please send an email tonn3si at si.edu < Caution-mailto:
nn3si at si.edu > .
