Welcome to The Ham Radio Guy, your go-to podcast for all things amateur radio! In today’s episode, we tackle the often-overlooked costs of amateur radio memberships. From local clubs to national organizations like the ARRL, AMSAT, and beyond, memberships can pile up and add significantly to your yearly expenses. But what value do they bring in return?
I'll share my own annual membership costs, what benefits I get, and whether they’re worth the investment. Plus, we’ll explore why some operators choose not to join, while others find their community and skill development through these groups.
Don’t miss the Ham Radio Guy Joke of the Week, Skywarn Recognition Day updates, and exciting news about Pearl Harbor Day commemorative operations.
