Mission Statement

Our  mission is to promote fellowship by providing opportunities for members  of the Scottsdale community to learn about and share their experiences  in all aspects of amateur radio operations.

Our Club History

Board of Directors

Mission Statement

Our first official club meeting was in 1957 when a bunch of ham radio operator friends got together and decided to form the Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club.   The Scottsdale ARC is one of the oldest Ham Radio clubs in Arizona.   


SARC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Founded in 1957 and incorporated in 1962, it is one of the oldest amateur radio clubs in Arizona and has been providing communication services to its members for more than 65 years. The club's primary purpose is to promote interest in amateur radio, provide education opportunities for people interested in the hobby as well as helping to facilitate emergency communications in times of disaster or emergency.  SARC organizes monthly meetings,participates in special events, and public service activities such as Skywarn weather spotter operations. It also operates several amateur radio repeaters that allow members to communicate across the valley as well as around the world. The club offers a variety of educational classes for those wishing to obtain their amateur radio license or upgrade an existing license. In addition, the club provides an in person forum at the Scottsdale Senior Center (Granite Reef Facility) where local hams can share experiences and discuss topics related to amateur radio.
