Who We Are
Lawton-Fort Sill Amateur Radio Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the Amateur Radio Hobby through Disaster Preparedness, Perfecting Communication Skills, STEM Education, and Community Event Support. Our Club was recognized as an Amateur Radio Club by the rules of ARRL (American Radio Relay League) on January 10th, 1949. Our Club has been incorporated in the State of Oklahoma since 1953. We are dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of individual operator proficiency, knowledge, and radio conduct. We conduct Club activities in support of the community and their events which allows active engagement with potential and current ham radio enthusiasts thus ensuring the continued relevance of radio and the Amateur Radio hobby in our rapidly changing world.
