hank you for visiting the Sangamon Valley Radio Club! We are an organization of both licensed amateur radio operators and non-licensed individuals, based in Central Illinois, who are dedicated to preserving the spirit of this great hobby we call Ham Radio. We accomplish this through community service, technological proficiency, social activities and fun! If you are interested in amateur radio communications, if you are already a licensed amateur and want to meet other amateurs in the area or if you just like to have fun, the SVRC is the place for you! Please come join us at our next club meeting. Guests are always welcome. We also have an email list server hosted by Yahoo Groups. If you don’t already receive email announcements then you can sign up below to be added to the list. The SVRC is an ARRL affiliated club and maintains a working relationship with the Illinois Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.
