The Utah Amateur Radio Club is the oldest extant radio club in Utah and in his book 200 Meters and Down, Clinton Desoto
describes a radio club in Salt Lake City as the very first
organization of its kind - that was formed in
1909. and it is possible that UARC's roots go back to that
organization.However, the records extant show that the Utah Amateur Radio Club was formed under its current name in 1927 and the club still has records containing the minutes of the first meeting. UARC became affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (UARC is #1602) the following year.
The Utah Amateur Radio Club holds monthly club meetings (except in July and August), typically on the second Thursday of the month starting at 7:30 PM. These meetings are usually held in the Warnock Engineering Building on the campus of the University of Utah.
UARC also holds an information net on Sunday evenings starting at 9 PM on the 146.620 repeater system. This net disseminates the week's "Amateur Radio Newline" news report as well as announcements related to the Utah Amateur Radio club, license testing as well as notable events and information about other local radio clubs. At the end of the net is a question/answer session where one may pose technical or informational questions to the host of that portion of the net.
