Welcome to the Pilot Knob Amateur Radio Club
Leavenworth County, Kansas
The Pilot Knob Amateur Radio Club is an ARRL Affiliate Club and ARRL Special Service Club open to all those interested in the exciting hobby of radio communications. The club was started over 40 years ago by some Hams that wanted to share their experiences with other local radio enthusiasts, exchange ideas and knowledge to enhance their technical abilities, and to be a source of knowledge and guidance to new enthusiasts who want to enter the hobby.
We uphold those goals as a club, and have expanded our charter to include providing communications services for community events, emergencies and disasters, acting as spotters of severe weather for the Leavenworth County Office of Emergency Management, providing formal training and education for those taking examinations for Amateur Radio Licenses and providing VEs to help administer those exams. We also sponsor a number of social events throughout the year for the general enjoyment of our membership. For further information please contact us at KS0LV@ARRL.net

Presently, our activities include monthly meetings on the 1st Thursday of each month, at 7pm. We meet at the Pilgrim Community Church, 500 Arch Street, Leavenworth, Kansas. Each monthly meeting consists of a short business meeting, followed by a program such as a technical presentation, sharing operating items and the many other areas of Amateur Radio interest.
Thursday Breakfasts:
We have a weekly breakfast on Thursdays at 7:30 am at "The Depot", 781 Shawnee Street, Leavenworth, Kansas. Please RSVP on the weekly Wednesday night net if you WILL be attending or email us at KS0LV@arrl.net before 9:00 pm the night before if you want to come but were unable to check in to the net.
VE Testing:
PKARC provides testing through the MO-KAN VEC. We prefer to administer tests either before the monthly meetings or before/during the weekly Thursday breakfasts, but other times can sometimes be arranged if necessary, depending on the availability of Volunteer Examiners. Email us at KS0LV@arrl.net to arrange a date and time or for further information.
Our members receive a monthly newsletter, The QRZ, along with many other benefits.
