The San Francisco Radio Club (SFRC) was formed in 1909 by a handful of radio enthusiasts with the objective of exchanging messages over the air. In 1916 the president at time, Henry W. Dickow (6HD), founded the club and published the first Yearbook. In the early days the club enjoyed a membership of as many as 300 radio amateurs!
Our mission is to foster an interest in the advancement of amateur radio communication and public service, to participate in activities involving communications under emergency conditions, and to promote compliance with the rules and regulation of the US FCC.
Today, more than 100 years later, the SFRC continues to operate as a not-for-profit Amateur Radio Club servicing the City and County of San Francisco and the surrounding community. Our members’ interests cover the entire spectrum of what Amateur Radio Service has to offer. We are a long standing member of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and with our members we participate in and organize events such as the Field Day, MS Walk, the San Francisco Marathon among other major events.
