Denver Radio Club membership brings you the following benefits

• Regular Monthly Meetings. The meetings include topical programs on all phases of amateur radio. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month. Watch for the meeting announcement in the club email or on our web site at w0tx.org.
• Round Table Newsletter. The monthly newsletter, delivered by email, covers current information on the club, upcoming meetings, special activities, technical updates and other interesting articles.
• Operating Activities. Activities include field day, special events, simulated emergency tests and a vital role in emergency preparedness plans. We support ARES, The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services, St. Anthony Hospital, the Lakewood Police Dept., the Wheat Ridge Police Dept. and the West Metro Fire Protection Dist. Participation in these events is purely voluntary by club members. We believe that amateur radio should support our community and encourage you to participate.
• Repeaters include:

Repeaters

• Sunday Night Net. Join us each Sunday at 8:30 p.m. on the 145.490 MHz 2-meter net. (Or use the 448.625 Freq. as they are linked). The PL tone requirement is disabled for this net.
• Learning Net. Everyone, member or not, are welcome to participate in the discussions every Wednesday, except the 3^rd Wednesday of month, at 7:30 p.m. on the 145.490/448.625 linked repeaters.
• Social Activities. These include our Holiday party, a summer hamfest in August and community activities throughout the year including Field Day in June.
• Our Members. The DRC is composed of amateurs from all walks of life. Within its diversified membership are experts in many fields, not limited to electronics. DRC members take pride in helping each other.
• Our ARRL Volunteer Examiner team works on an appointment basis and can arrange a mutual location for testing.

English to be used on all Club Repeaters.

It is our concern that, due to the board and general membership’s inability to understand all of the other languages in the world that might cross our repeaters, we would not be able to enforce all applicable FCC rules if we allow other languages. We, as an elected board, have a duty to the club membership (owners of our machines), to be in compliance with FCC rules. There is no discrimination toward any speaker of any language. It is our prime directive, as we sign our license every 10 years, to control our transmitters, and provide a lawful and safe place to share ideas.
