Clubs are one of the most important
parts in amateur radio. Clubs provide amateurs a
place to get together (whether it is at a club meeting, a
picnic, a hamfest or on the air nets.)
The West Central Florida Section
has over twenty amateur radio clubs affiliated with the
ARRL.
The Affiliated Club Coordinator
(ACC) is responsible for working with clubs that are
affiliated to help meet their needs as well as acting as
liaison between the clubs and the section.
The ACC also works with new as well as not affiliated
clubs to assist these groups in becoming affiliated with
the ARRL.
The Affiliated Club Coordinator for the West
Central Florida Section is: Steve Schultz, N7HUQ
Please keep the ACC or one of his
assistants informed of your club activities on a regular
basis.
