NSRC
The NSRC is a not-for-profit Amateur Radio club serving Chicago’s north suburban area. It is one of Chicago’s largest and most active radio clubs whose members’ interests cover the entire spectrum of what the Amateur Radio Service has to offer. The club is a long standing Special Service Club member of the American Radio Relay League. It participates in Field Day, sponsors fox hunts and operates special event stations for Kid’s Day and the Boy Scouts’ Jamboree on the Air. NSRC also provides public service communications for local organizations like the Evanston Bike Club’s North Shore Century Bicycle Ride. We have served the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for more than 10 years, providing communication support for the medical volunteers. Many NSRC members participated in this world-class event. The club participates in and encourages all aspects of Amateur Radio including license classes and exams to help people get started in this wonderful hobby.
