We operate the WR4EC repeater, support emergency communications through ARES and the SCHEART network, and get on the air together for Field Day, the SC QSO Party, and other events through the year.

New to amateur radio?
You do not need a licence to come and meet us, and you do not need equipment to get started. If you are interested in getting licensed, in emergency communications, or you have just moved into the area and want to find the local repeater, get in touch — we are glad to help.
