Welcome to the BYU-Idaho Amateur Radio Society!

Established in the mid-1900s, the BYU-Idaho Amateur Radio Society is one of the University's longest-operating student groups.

Get Involved

We meet most Wednesdays during the semester in STC 231, and host weekly nets on the 146.510 MHz K7BYI Repeater.
For more information on current events and what we're up to, join our Discord!

We have activies for all skill levels, and no license is required to participate with us (though we'd be happy to help you get yours if you like)
