The Kings County Radio Club meets on the first Wednesday of every month, currently on Zoom video conferencing. We would like you to join us, send us an email with your email address that you would like the Invite to be sent. You do not have to be a member to attend our meetings. In fact, we urge those interested to drop in and join us for our monthly meeting.
We offer a “pre-meeting” during the 7 PM to 8 PM portion, where we have arranged for an informal question and answer session. Both unlicensed, as well as license holders, may have questions, and our members will try our best to provide answers or at least sources of information for those requiring them.
The General Meetings begin around 8 PM and usually last until 9:30 to 10 PM.

Hi, I live in downtown NYC- ground zero. I am in serious need of an elmer. I am currently a Tech and am studying for my general. I- for the life of me, just can’t get a signal in or out. Yaseu 857-d/ atas 120a/ wolf river coil 1000 silver bullet. 19th floor with terrace and absolutely no signal….Help.
Andrew
withe the wolf river coil 1000 silver bullet you should be able to get out. where are you placing the antenna is it indoors on a terace in the back yard. you said by ground zero so I assume you are near the Apartment buildings on the side of the river?
Hi, thanks for the response. I was looking out for an email. Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I live across the street from the hospital/ Pace university. I have the antenna out on my terrace in a horizontal position. I was looking at the pl-259 connection and see that its a solid piece as opposed to others that I see online which require soldering- IE, the part of the pl-259 which is inserted into the so-239 on the back of the radio. I am using 3 11 ft lengths of 10 gauge wire as counter poise connected to the antenna itself. No matter what I do, I just am not receiving signal. My swr is always 9+. I really need help here. The tech test just hasnt prepared me at all. I’ve also tried the same radio with the atas 120a and same responce???
Sending you an email
Thx:)
Hi, I’m interested in learning how to use a Ham Radio, getting equipment, and getting liscenced. I learn more easily through instruction than reading a book or equipment manual, so I’ve been searching for a class or meetup in Brooklyn or manhattan (or queens) that is newcomer-friendly… any ideas are appreciated! I am completely new to it but want to learn.
Hi Sarah
We do not offer class’s yet, But if you come down to our next meeting we can go over how the test works and what type of equipment you will need with the expectations and options you have available for antenna and equipment placement.you can find the address and time on this page above
Hey, sarah, im very interested in the hobby myself and need a crash course or two for newbies, if u already found one plz let me know how i can inject myself into the world of ham…..

Can someone please tell me how to registration for GRMS radio?
GMRS is not part of the Amature Radio Service. That being said:
Found this on Google.
New GMRS licenses are granted only to individuals, but GMRS licenses granted to non-individuals (such as businesses) before July 31, 1987, can be renewed if certain conditions are met. You can apply for a GMRS license online, or by filing FCC Form 605. The FCC sets license filing fees annually, and licenses are granted for 10 years.

Would like to attend next meeting. I am a member and attended the tech (E2) classes although I do not have my license yet.
We do not have a place to meet due to covid-19. We do not hold classes. if you would like to attend our meeting online let us know and we can send you a link if we have enough room.
My e-mail is… (removed)
I look forward to your e-mail (Link).
would like to get into gmrs and ham radio. looking for people to learn from and practice with.
Are there any plans to resume in-person meetings given that reason for going fully virtual was the COVID-19 pandemic and the federal Public Health Emergency declaration for COVID-19 expired last year?
We do not have a meeting place as yet

Thank you for allowing my membership, and sending me the nice patch! Just wanted to say I won’t be on the air from the Indian reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota anymore. I started moving back to the home QTH in Alliance, Nebraska slowly a few weeks ago, so the radio stuff was first to go. You’ll be hearing me from there when I get it all together again. I decided to retire a year earlier than I thought after all.
Thanks, Ken N2VHZ “N-2-very-high-zeppelin”
