The Club's primary activities involve Amateur Radio operation from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain, Lookout Mountain Range, and the Great Smokie Mountain areas.

We participate in various outdoor camping and hiking activities, promoting the fellowship and operation of Amateur Radio along the way. The annual ARRL Field Day is one of our most important club activities, an annual ritual we always look forward to. Keep an ear out for W4AE on the air.
