FAIR LAWN AMATEUR
RADIO CLUB
INTRODUCTION
The Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club was founded in the spring of 1961 making it
one of the oldest radio organizations in Northern New Jersey.
The club is a general interest radio organization, but The Fair Lawn Amateur
Radio Club during its 46-year history has always been dedicated to helping our
community and our country when needed in times of crisis. Through Fair Lawn
OEM, the Fair Lawn Radio Emergency Service organization has always been
considered part of the Borough's Emergency Services. Many of our members are
also RACES members and CERT members (Community Emergency Response Team).
We are one of the few clubs that have a permanent
location. Our facilities include two large rooms for a total of five operating
stations. The stations are equipment with THREE HF stations that use a Mosley 5
band beam, 40 meter dipole or an 80 meter dipole. We also have a 2-meter side
band station with an 11-element beam. These antennas are mounted on a 20-foot
tower on the roof of the two-story building. Other equipment includes a 2 meter
FM station, a 2 meter/440 FM station and a 220 MHZ FM station with antennas for
all. A second tower is on the roof that has a 5 element 6 meter beam, A 220 MHZ
and 440 MHZ beams will be added to this tower also.
Membership is open to any person interested in Amateur Radio whether
licensed or not.
