Welcome

Plattsmouth Amateur Radio Club

We're a group of licensed amateur radio operators based in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, serving Cass County and the surrounding Missouri River valley. Whether you've held a license for forty years or you're studying for your Technician exam right now, there's a place for you here.

Our members are active on the local repeaters, on HF, in digital modes from FT8 to DMR, and in public service — supporting local events, severe weather spotting, and emergency communications for our community. We meet regularly to swap stories, troubleshoot antennas, and help each other get on the air.

For years we have gathered informally at the Burger King on hwy 75 on Tuesday evenings. Come when you can, stay as long as you want. Our official club business meeting is the last Saturday of the month at Mom's Cafe on main street in historic downtown Plattsmouth. The meeting starts at 8:00AM. The restaurant opens at 7:30, so come early, get some breakfast and a coffee, and catch up with everyone.

New to the hobby?

Are you Tweaked by Technology? Attracted to Electronics? Revv'ed about Radio? Crazy about Computers? Looking to flesh out your emergency preparedness communications? What about mashing them all together? If so, Ham Radio might be the hobby for you! If you're studying for a license, chasing your first contact, or just curious what all the antennas in your neighbor's backyard are for, come find us on the repeater or at a meeting, or reach out via the Contact page here on the site. We're glad to talk about all this stuff, how we use it, and some of the many ways others might use it.
