The Emerald Amateur Radio Society (EARS) was founded in 1960 to promote
Amateur Radio and the Amateur Radio community in Lane County. To promote greater
harmony in the family radio shack, EARS became the first club to admit women
members. EARS first meeting was in the back room of an ice cream shop in
Springfield, followed by meeting places at the Eugene Public Library, the
Science Factory, and Springfield's City Hall.
Currently we are meeting in the EOC room at the Springfield Justice Center, 230
4th Street, Springfield OR. General meetings are
held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, unless falling on a holiday, in which case
this website and email notices will post appropriate changes. EARS is a
state-charted non-profit corporation having its own officers and operating
equipment. It is associated with the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL) and
EARS operates under the rules of the Federal Communications Commission as
regards to the Amateur Radio Service.
During times of emergency, EARS operates under the auspices of
Springfield's Emergency Management structure. The Springfield Police
Department provides an Auxiliary Radio room housed in the Springfield Justice
Center for EARS radio club call sign W7SFD. The club also maintains a 2
meter repeater, WA7FQD, located in Springfield, found on 146.74 MHz on 2 meters
EARS offers the general public information about Amateur radio, participates
in community sponsored events providing ham radio communication, recommends
current classes in
Amateur Radio licensing when they are taught, and its role in emergencies. We
also participate in simulated emergency tests (SETS) on a city, county and state
basis. If you already have an
Amateur Radio license, EARS has many areas of interest ranging from DX´ing to
antenna building to digital communications, and more. In addition, training in
Emergency Communications is offered monthly to anyone interested.
