Joining our community

Lake Washington Ham Club is a friendly community for amateur radio enthusiasts to learn, have fun, and make friends. If you're not yet licensed, that's okay – when you're ready we'll help you get there.

The more you put into the community, the more you'll get out of it. We maintain this website, host regular online and in person meetings, and maintain email groups to help you stay informed and connect with others.

Join our email community

Send an email to main+subscribe@lwhc.groups.io to join our overall email community. The board uses this group to communicate important information such as upcoming meetings or special events. Typically, you'll receive fewer than 5 emails a month.

Once you've joined main@lwhc.groups.io, you may join any of the subgroups listed at this page: Groups.io Subgroups to Join.

Using our repeater network

  • Our website is the main source of information for the club. From there you can find information about our network of repeaters providing excellent coverage across the area.

We have a variety of nets including our daily 11am net that can be found on the club calendar. Evening nets are held at other times of the day throughout the week.

Monthly meetings

Our monthly meetings are held primarily over Zoom on the second Saturday of the month from 9-11am. During the milder months, we also have monthly in-person meetings at area parks called Rain or Shine nets. These are usually on the third Saturday of the month from 8:30-12am.

Our club website, and groups.io groups have announcements for many of these events, but it is best to check the website and calendar from time to time as well.

Volunteering and other information

If you have an interest in volunteering, please let us know! We are always looking for people with a passion who are willing to get involved. The level of commitment is up to you, so don’t worry.

Finally, if you have any lingering questions that we have not answered here, please send us an email at k7lwh@lakewashingtonhamclub.org. We will be happy to provide you any additional information you may need.

Welcome!
