We are a not-for-profit organization established in the Chicago area since 1965. In this time we have hosted Radio EXPO, held many classes to help interested persons learn about Amateur Radio. We have participated in Field Day for many, many years. Our club has hosted countless VE testing sessions during our monthly meeting and during Radio EXPO. We have education programs at every meeting. Twice a year, we host Amateur Awareness Days for the general public to visit and learn about Amateur Radio, and see an actual emergency radio communication demonstration in which they can participate with the guidance of licensed “Hams”. We have worked with scout troops to get the kids involved.
Chicago FM Club, CFMC, is @250 members strong in 8 states and we continue to grow every month. We have many members who are either active or retired public servants, such as fire, police, etc. Many of our members are members of the Salvation Army Emergency Radio Team (S.A.T.E.R.N.), and the American Red Cross Emergency Communication Team. Our members have participated in emergency communication for many natural and man-made disasters.
