Our Klub
Founded March 2017
Sitka Ham Amateur Radio Klub “SHARK” is a new group of Amateur radio enthusiasts that was officially formed in March 2017. We're an active group of hams in South East Alaska that enjoy exploring all aspects of the hobby.
We began with a few fellow ham radio operators who put their own time and money into setting up radio equipment here in Sitka and in doing so found there was a genuine interest with other Sitkans to become licensed Amateur radio operators.
Our club has grown from 3 to 33 members and evolved into several facets of activities which are all dedicated to communications. Our members consist of nurses, doctor, EMT’s, SAR, Coast Guard personnel, teacher, retirees and others all with an interest in radio as a hobby but also being of service to our community when needed.
