Welcome to the Nixa Amateur Radio Club
We are a nonprofit, ARRL-affiliated Special Service Club for amateur (ham) radio operators across Nixa, Springfield, Ozark, Republic, and the greater Southwest Missouri Ozarks. Since 2001, we've brought hams together for monthly meetings, license testing, Field Day, and our annual hamfest. We help support a linked repeater system which keeps operators connected across all of Southwest Missouri. Rooted in public service, we provide emergency backup communications and support for local events. Whether you're a licensed operator, studying for your license, or just curious about the hobby, you're welcome to join us at any of our monthly meetings or events!
Our club has members from all walks of life and all levels of experience, from those just starting out to seasoned operators. We believe in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can learn, share, and grow in their amateur radio journey. Join us to connect with fellow enthusiasts, participate in exciting activities, and contribute to the vibrant ham radio community in Southwest Missouri.
