About Us

The Samuel F Morse Amateur Radio Club (SFMARC) was originally formed in Sacramento, CA by a group of radio amateurs that mainly enjoy operating CW. We wanted a way to bring others together who also have an interest in operating CW on-air, and share the love of Field Day, Bug Roundup, and both the NAQP and CQP.

Save the Date - October 24, 80 Meter Antenna Clinic

Come and learn with the Samuel F. Morse Amateur Radio Club as Phil Sittner, KD6RM, builds a space-saving/stealth fence-mounted end-fed 80 meter antenna. This can be your solution to operate on 3.5 MHz from a restricted HOA or limited-space environment.

More detailed information including time and location will follow.
