A word from the president
Chris DeMarsh 1DCR1
Welcome to our newly renovated site. I've spent many hours working to improve the DCR site and the club in general by boosting fellowship within the organization and finding activities for the club to participate in.
I hope you enjoy our site and if you're not already a member you'll consider joining.
WE WANT TO EXPAND!
We are looking for new members in ALL Kentucky and Indiana counties (except Jefferson county in KY) to become chapter presidents and help DCR grow. As a chapter president you will be responsible for recruitment, management and DCR rule enforcement in your chapter. By club law the first member to join in a county with no other DCR members is automatically the president of the new chapter but even if you are not the first one to join in your county you can still hold an officer position as vice president or any other officer position that the chapter president wishes to establish (within reason). Contact us for more info.
Who are the Radioactives?
The Derby City Radioactives is an organization of hobbyists and enthusiasts involved in multipule aspects of radio communications including CB and Ham (Amateur) radio, FRS/GMRS, Scanning, Shortwave Listening and the Multi-Use Radio Service(MURS)
History
The DCR began as the Channel 4 CB Club which was formed on October 20, 2004 in Louisville, Kentucky by two local CB'ers who became the club's first president and vice president. From the club's formation to when we became the Radioactives in November 2005 and into today the organization has held numerous on-air nets and DCR Members have been involved in public service activities such as severe weather spotting and tracking as part of the National Weather Service's "SKYWARN" program and volunteer monitoring of CB channel 9 for emergency and assistance calls.
Since some of our members started monitroing channel 9 in April 2005 they have received and relayed over 200 calls to various public service agencies.
Our members are not required to participate in any public service activity but we do encourage it.The Derby City Radioactives is a radio hobbyist club not a public service or EMCOMM group and is involved in all aspects of the radio hobby.No matter what your radio communications interest is, you are welcome in DCR.
