Fulton Amateur Radio Club celebrates 50th Anniversary

Fulton, NY – Since the early 1900's people have been experimenting with wireless radio. The Fulton Amateur Radio Club recently ran a Special Events Station to celebrate its 50th anniversary. When the day was done, Club members had spoken to over 300 amateur operators in 32 states, 2 provinces and 2 foreign countries. WRVO's Kate Percival has this audio postcard.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
