The WSU Amateur Radio Club gives Washington State University students a chance to learn and experiment with ham radio. It runs weekend licensing classes several times a year and holds general meetings. One meeting presented a recently deployed Pullman ham radio mesh network with a live demonstration.

Licensing classes are a practical first step for people who want to join an emergency communications group later.

Before you rely on any group: contact them, join a practice net or drill, and keep calling 911 first whenever you can.
