Amateur Radio · Kingman, Arizona
Connecting our community across the airwaves — from the Hualapai Mountains to the world. Voice, Morse code, and digital modes for hams of every license class.
Amateur radio is far more than talking on a radio. Every mode opens a different door — from the warmth of a ragchew to the precision of a 20-word-per-minute CW exchange to the quiet magic of decoding a signal you can barely hear.
Whether you are chatting with a neighbor across town on a repeater or working DX halfway around the world on single sideband, voice is the heart of amateur radio. Pick up the mic and join the conversation.
The original digital mode. CW cuts through noise and interference that would bury a voice signal, letting you span continents with just a few watts and a good ear. Master the rhythm of dots and dashes.
Computers and sound cards have opened a new frontier. Trade messages at incredible distances with minimal power, send email over radio when the internet is down, or track positions in real time across the desert.
Check in every Tuesday evening on the WB6RER repeater. All licensed hams welcome — share news, weather, and good conversation.
Join us on 40 meters for our HF ragchew net. If the frequency is busy, move up 2.5 KHz. A great way to hone your HF operating skills.
Sharpen your Morse code skills with the K7KGM Code Practice Net. All speeds welcome — a relaxed way to build your CW confidence.
Gather with fellow hams on the first Wednesday of each month for club business, presentations, and good company. All are welcome — no license required.
Join us for breakfast and eyeball QSOs every fourth Saturday. We rotate through local restaurants — check our Facebook page for the next spot.
Put your direction-finding skills to the test at our monthly transmitter hunt. Bring a handheld and a sense of adventure — newcomers and seasoned hunters all welcome.
Program these frequencies into your radio and join us on the air. New members and visitors are always welcome — just key up, announce your call sign, and say hello.
Open repeater — all licensed amateurs welcome. Hosts the Weekly Club Net on Tuesday evenings.
Simplex frequency used for the Weekly Club Net check-ins and casual ragchews.
Every September, amateur radio clubs from Chicago to Santa Monica bring the Mother Road to life on the airwaves. We proudly operate as W6F and W6W from Kingman — right on historic Route 66.
Official Event Info
Route 66 On The Air commemorates the history of the Mother Road — the highway that linked Chicago to Santa Monica and symbolized the freedom of the open road. Amateur radio clubs along the route operate special 1×1 callsigns each September, letting hams everywhere relive the ride.
Dozens of clubs from California to Illinois activate special event stations. Work as many as you can using CW, SSB, and digital modes on 80 through 6 meters. Request QSL cards from individual stations and a certificate showing all the stations you contacted — decals and commemorative mugs are also available.
The Hualapai Amateur Radio Club activates both W6F and W6W from Kingman, Arizona — the crossroads of I-40 and historic Route 66. Our members operate throughout the event window, and visitors are welcome to stop by, get on the air, and be part of the tradition.
Founded in 1973 and ARRL-affiliated for over 50 years, the Hualapai Amateur Radio Club welcomes all licensed hams and anyone curious about amateur radio. You do not even need a license to attend a meeting or check out a Field Day — curiosity is the only requirement.
Annual dues are $25 for an individual or $35 for a family. New members joining after January are prorated at $2 per month. Full membership (licensed hams) includes voting rights; associate membership is open to non-licensed supporters.
