One such organization is the Southern Peninsula Amateur Radio Klub (that is not a typo). SPARK has been in existence since the 1960s. If you want to come and meet the group &#8211; you certainly are welcome &#8211; even if you are not a HAM yet. We will set you up with an &#8220;Elmer&#8221; to get you started.
