Explorer Post 599 is the Phoenix-area’s Ham Radio specialty post. All of our activities center around Ham Radio or high technology education. We meet weekly in a workshop-type meeting, working on projects or learning about an aspect of radio communications. We hold monthly business meetings with a program of interest to the members.
Post 599 has a dedicated group of adults who serve as mentors to the youth members. The adults really enjoy working with the youth, and believe that young people really need Ham Radio. The adults include radio engineers, computer engineers, technicians, and non-technical people, all licensed Ham operators.
Although Exploring is for 14 to 20-year-olds, youth younger than 14 years old are welcomed as associate members and can participate in all activities.
In addition to the weekly meetings, the Post holds at least monthly regular activities, including camping, tours, special training classes, demonstrations of Ham Radio, and providing communications for public service events. All youth and adult members are encouraged to participate in our events.
