ARKAN Membership

You are invited to join ARKAN. The Amateur Radio Klub of the Arkansas Northwest (ARKAN) is an organization for anyone interested in amateur radio. Club members of all ages (and their families) socialize and provide public service and educational opportunities for the Northwest Arkansas area. The club actively provides radio communication for local events including Airfest, parades and other public events. You do not have to be a licensed amateur radio operator to join in the fun.

A membership application can be found at the end of every newsletter. Dues are $5 per year for the first membership and $5 for each additional membership due at the first of the year.
