To be sure you don't miss out on important club communications, please keep your contact information up-to-date.  You can easily do this through our web site.  Log in to your account and click the "Edit Profile" button.  This will allow you to immediately update your preferred name, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address, and ARRL membership status.

The ARRL membership status is a new field in the online profile so please take a moment to ensure it is set correctly.  You do not need to be an ARRL member to be a member of RATS, but ARRL membership is encouraged.  We track your ARRL membership status because it helps maintain our status as an ARRL-affiliated club.

Our friends over at CATS are offering license test sessions on the first Saturday of each month.  Walk-ins are welcome at the Gospel Light Baptist Church, 2109 Anderson Highway in Powhatan.  These ARRL-VEC sessions run from 10 AM to 12 PM and a fee applies.  For additional information please follow this link.

Our club meetings are usually the third Friday of each month at 7:30 PM.  You do not need to be a club member or a licensed ham to attend a meeting.

UPDATE: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, RATS has been holding our membership meetings online. We look forward to seeing everyone face-to-face as soon as we can! Please see our Meetings page on the left-hand menu to see our planning each month, and for any updates to links and procedures as circumstances evolve. All are still welcome to attend our meetings, even online!
