Welcome to the UCSC Amateur Radio Club, W6SLG. 

Amateur radio, or unoffically "ham radio", has been active at UCSC since 2002 after IEEE Student Chapter members first became involved.  The club itself was informally formed in 2010, and unofficially recognized by the School of Engineering in 2012. Following official recognition by the ARRL and efforts by students since that time, the club ratified its Constitution and Bylaws on March 12, 2014, thereby gaining official status as a student organization at UCSC.

Under our Bylaws, official club communications shall be via this website and is actively maintained by the Club Secretary. During the Pandemic, the Club became inactive and is finally coming back to life this quarter (Spring 2023).   

Students and faculty interested in the art and science of Amateur Radio can apply for Club Membership and gain full access to this website. The procedure for membership can be found by following the Membership link. Login credentials require an active UCSC "Blue" account. Thus, if you don't have a Blue account, we can sponsor you for one.  Just send email to AC6P and he'll take care of you. This doesn't require UCSC affiliation.
