Support the Future of Amateur Radio
Your support is an investment in the future of amateur radio. Join us in this critical mission to inspire and nurture the next generation of hams at RPI through the W2SZ Amateur Radio Club.
The survival and growth of amateur radio are at a critical juncture. Young people are the key to the future of this hobby, and without their involvement, this important part of our technological heritage and future risks fading away.
W2SZ isn’t just another radio club; we are a crucial bridge connecting the vibrant world of amateur radio with the engineering student body at RPI. By exposing students to amateur radio, we ignite a passion for hands-on communication technology, fostering the next generation of enthusiasts and innovators.
Every donation, big or small, will make a difference.
