Amateur Radio Group


Who We Are:
  W4SCP – Sun City Amateur Radio is a group of FCC-licensed amateur radio operators (hams) and non-licensed radio enthusiasts serving the needs of our Sun City residents in all aspects of ham radio communications.

Our Purpose:
  Our group promotes interest and understanding in amateur radio communications (Ham Radio) as both a fun hobby and a critical public service.

 What We Do: 

  • We encourage fellowship among amateur radio operators, anyone interested in radio communications, and those seeking a ham radio license, with fun activities across a wide variety of amateur radio interests.
  • We organize and provide trained personnel and radio equipment for essential radio communications during emergency situations in support of Sun City Peachtree’s Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), as well as in support of officials in Griffin, Spalding County, and the State of Georgia as needed.
  • We own and operate our own UHF radio repeater that extends the range of radio operations throughout Sun City Peachtree. We are operational 24/7.
  • We provide training and testing for unlicensed persons who desire to become licensed amateur radio operators and for licensed amateurs that want to upgrade from their present license classification.
  • We conduct monthly membership meetings and on-going training seminars on a variety of radio subjects to further the technical skills and education of all members.
  • We hold weekly, on-air radio traffic nets to bring together all amateur radio operators within range of our repeater for fellowship, training, and testing of equipment.
  • We conduct interesting programs and activities to advance the general public’s interest in amateur radio.

 There are so many facets to the ham radio hobby and there is likely one that would interest you too.  Whether you would enjoy talking with local amateur operators on the Sun City W4SCP repeater, helping your community during emergencies, learning new radio skills, studying for and taking a radio license exam, exploring the various digital modes, making long-distance or international contacts, building radio projects, or even learning Morse Code…there is something for everyone. 

 Regardless of whether you are new to amateur radio or have been a Ham for many years…all Sun City Residents are welcome and together we will have fun and explore the many diverse aspects of amateur radio.
