Welcome!
My name is John Kludt, K4SQC, and I would like to welcome you to the North Fulton Amateur Radio League, NFARL, website -- the internet home of the 2010 Hamvention Club of the Year.
NFARL is the premier club in the greater North Fulton County, Georgia area with over 240 active members. The Club features a variety of activities to appeal to the widest range of amateur radio interests from getting started in our hobby to contesting, QRP operating, rag chewing, DXing and project building. We invite every ham and newcomer to the hobby to visit the friendliest club in the area.
Our monthly meetings focus on topics with broad appeal presented by highly rated speakers. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) offer in-depth training and discussion on topics such as antennas, learning CW, contesting, and complex kit building. Mid-Month-Madness events offer opportunities to build antennas and kits, visit members’ shacks, explore new operating modes, delve into the boneyards at local hamfests and similar activities.
We seek to help every member grow in their skills and enjoyment of the hobby. HamCrams help new hams earn their first license and quickly upgrade to General followed by Extra class. A mentoring program helps ensure every ham has access to an “Elmer” and VE sessions are conducted monthly. A weekly TechNet encourages discussion of all things technical, and a weekly YouthNet offers an opportunity for our young and older members to interact. We promote Ham radio to schools and Scouting and encourage youth membership and participation in all our events. The Club co-sponsored (along with the SouthEast DX Club) a "HamJam" in 2012, a program featuring nationally renowned amateur radio speakers, with the proceeds used to provide support to our local amateur radio youth.
The club places a major emphasis on the public awareness of Field Day and enjoyed the largest participation in the nation in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the second largest in 2012! Our sister club, the North Fulton ARES, serves the communities of Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Sandy Springs.
The club maintains six repeaters including EchoLink access.
Please browse the site and feel free to contact any of our officers or executive team members for more information.
Welcome to the website and NFARL. We look forward to meeting you soon!
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM at:
