Orlando Amateur Radio Club

Ham Radio YouTube Channel

The Orlando Amateur Radio Club, with the club call of W4PLB, is the largest and oldest amateur radio club in Central Florida with consistently over 300 members. We are an American Radio Relay League, (ARRL) Special Service Club, and offer many outlets for your amateur radio enjoyment and growth. We actively support Orange County ARES and Skywarn as well as several community service agencies. To keep members informed, a monthly e-newsletter is sent out that includes meeting information, items of interest and important announcements. To promote amateur radio, OARC offers classes for all levels of amateur radio license from Technician to Amateur Extra. By acknowledging the obvious benefits of upgrading, we support and promote the advancement of the amateur radio community licensees by offering these theory classes. Testing is provided on a monthly basis prior to the general membership meeting at the Beardall Senior Center. See our links page for online internet testing sites.
