The EAWA has been an active club since the early 1960s. Members and friends gather for a monthly meeting and educational program, weekend sessions for hands-on work, many activities such as operating as a club from a local park and providing communications along race routes, and for coffee on Wednesday mornings. The club welcomes all — operators and those curious about operating, those interested in any aspect of radio, all ages — come join in any time.
