Amateur Radio and Wireless Technology Club
     The BTHS Amateur Radio Club has a very long tradition of helping students to learn about all forms of wireless technology and training operators who provide communications when needed in response to emergencies such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados and terror attacks. As part of that training, we practice by providing public service communications for events like the NY City Marathon, March of Dimes, etc.
 
Regular meetings on Thursdays after period 9.
Current and new members welcome.

OUR SPECIAL ON-THE-AIR OPERATING EVENT
"SCHOOL CLUB ROUNDUP"
 
The next SCR session will be during the week of
February 8-12, 2010.
Everyone is welcome.
 
In the best tradition of Amateur (Ham) Radio we will be using borrowed equipment and an improvised antenna. This will demonstrate how and why we, the amateur radio operators can supply communications after disasters when other services have failed.
 
Members and visitors are able to see and hear our station in operation.
 
During the last SCR session in October, 2009, we were only able to make two contacts, while using a handheld radio.  One of the the two contacts was with the club station at Stuyvesant High School, W2CLE. This was a significant milestone because it was the first time in decades that the two school stations have both been on the air.  The Stuyvesant club can be traced back to at least 1909.  A recent donation of equipment by an alumnus has boosted interest at Stuyvesant.
