The Pilot Knob Amateur Radio Club is an ARRL Affiliate Club open to all those interested in the exciting hobby of radio communications. Although it is not necessary to be a licensed "Ham," being one sure makes the hobby a lot more fun. The club was started over 40 years ago by some Hams that wanted to share their experiences with other local radio enthusiasts, exchange ideas and knowledge to enhance their technical abilities, and to be a source of knowledge and guidance to new enthusiasts who want to enter the hobby.

Today, we continue to uphold those goals as a club, but have expanded our purpose to include those of providing communications services for community events, emergencies and disasters, acting as spotters of severe weather for the Leavenworth County Office of Emergency Management, providing formal training and education for those taking examinations for Amateur Radio Licenses and providing VEs to help administer those exams.  We also sponsor a number of social events throughout the year for the general enjoyment of our membership.

The club currently has approximately 85 members, mostly in Leavenworth and surrounding counties, but anyone with an interest is invited to join and enjoy the fun.  Our members receive a monthly news letter, The QRZ, along with many other benefits.
