Founding Principles

The Southeastern AM Radio Club (SAMRC) was founded in the year 1999 for the purpose of preserving and protecting the vintage AM radio mode of operation, vintage AM radio equipment, its preservation and restoration, the exchange of equipment through purchase or selling, and for the fellowship of like-minded AM radio Amateur operators.  The club functions to promote the hobby, fellowship, and good will across the Amateur Radio spectrum as it relates to the AM mode of operation.


The SAMRC operates a weekly net on 3885 kilocycles and generally meets at a time depending on propagation.   Check for time updates on the opening page.  This net constitutes an official meeting of the membership.


The callsign used by the net control is W4AMI.  The callsign is reflective of the affiliation with AM International and the AM mode of operation in general. The SAMRC is affiliated with AM International (AMI).
