The Peconic Amateur Radio Club’s Station, W2AMC, is open on Tuesdays from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. We’re at the Custer Institute and Observatory, 1115 Bayview Ave., Southold, NY 11971.
The station is being set up to go QRV on bands from 160 M through 70 cm, with several antennas in multiple configurations. The Yaesu FT100D is operational for SSB using the tower's beams. Two other transceivers are being set up to operate CW, SSB, FM, JT65, FSK, and FT8 modes. We use the W2AMC repeater on 440.050 MHz with a +5 MHz offset and a 107.2 Hz tone for general casual conversations and talk-ins, if needed.
We routinely run a "check-in net" on the 440.050 repeater (in Greenport) for 15 minutes, beginning at 11 AM every Tuesday.

Makes Plans for
Winter Field Day 2026
Members of the Peconic Amateur Radio Club have begun planning for Winter Field Day. The event tests the amateur radio hobbyist’s ability to set up an emergency radio station away from his home and communicate with other stations without having access to commercial power. That’ll be January 24th and 25th this year. More information about the event can be found here: https://winterfieldday.org/

Come to the IHOP in Riverhead for another good time and MORE Good FOOD! And great company, too.
The Club’s monthly club meeting and breakfast will be at 8 AM on Saturday, January 3rd at the IHOP Breakfast Restaurant at 1490 Old Country Rd. (SC58), Riverhead near the Home Depot.
Arrive in time to begin ordering at 8 AM, and we will clear the area for the regular customers around 9:30.
This is an opportunity to share operating hints and kinks, make eyeball QSOs with those you've heard on the air, solve the problems of ham radio or the world, and enjoy being out. Oh – and you’ll get to eat some good food too.
I look forward to seeing you at breakfast Saturday at 8 AM.
