Will SSB Radio Return To The US Naval Academy?
« on: January 10, 2023, 1712 UTC »
Last week the National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL) announced that a new Service Academies Radio Group (SARG) was recently formed for alumni and amateur radio operators who are interested in helping students at the five U.S. military academies rebuild long-dormant ham radio clubs.

Naval Academy graduate William Curry (W5CQ), the founder and net control operator for the SARG Net, told ARRL there was a new interest in forming a group and net. He noticed that only one military academy, West Point, W2KGY was still operating a club station. At one time, all US military academy and US State Maritime academies had operating stations.
