About Us

The Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club in Sacramento, California, is a friendly and inclusive non-profit association of licensed radio amateurs and others who share an interest in developing and promoting skills and public service using Morse Code (CW) in the Amateur Radio Service.  

The Samuel F Morse Amateur Radio Club was originally formed by a small group of radio amateurs that mainly enjoy CW. We wanted a way to bring others together who also have an interest in operating CW on-air. Each year the SFM ARC gets together and sets up a modest field day operation in a public location. Members also enjoy getting together in other locations to work portable QRO/QRP operations, contests and to test new antenna designs and ideas with each other. 

Twice annually the club hosts its very own Bug Roundup Event. This is an event that brings bug key operators together on the air. In the same spirit as ARRL’s Straight Key Night, participants are encouraged to make simple, conversational, Rag Chew” QSOs using their bug type keys. 

The SFM ARC is actively looking for other Operators around the globe that would like to join our club. For more information please visit our Webpage at www.w6sfm.org
