The Murray State University Amateur Radio Club (MSUARC)

OUR MISSION: "To provide and conduct programs and activities that promote interest in Amateur radio within the Murray State University campus and the community of Murray-Calloway County Kentucky, and that advance the knowledge, abilities, and welfare of the membership in their enjoyment of ham radio."

A well-equipped station is available in the MSU IET-Department Radio Lab in the Industry & Technology Building, that has both VHF and HF operating positions. HF operations include Field Day, contests, and special events as well as general operating and experimentation. The I&T Building is designated as Calloway County backup EOC. The MSUARC meets in this building the first Tuesday of each month. More info on the club web site.
