Special Event Station

W9RH/108

January 25, 2025

10:00 am – 4:00 pm CST

The Milwaukee Radio Amateurs’ Club celebrated 108 years of continuous service as an amateur radio club, and 106 years of affiliation with the ARRL (the national association for amateur radio). We were on the air from the Ham Radio Outlet showroom working HF (20-meters) and our VHF repeater (145.390 MHz PL 127.3) and WiRES-X (#43588).

Club members were behind the mic, logging contacts, and swapping stories in the HRO showroom. Thank you to Ham Radio Outlet in Milwaukee for allowing us to set-up our gear in the showroom and using that space for Saturday afternoon.

A commemorative certificate is available upon request for stations with confirmed contact with W9RH/108 during the Special Event. To request your certificate, please send an email to: specialeventstation@w9rh.org, including your name, call sign and preferred email address for receiving the certificate. Certificates will be emailed by February 28, 2025.
