WE are the group affiliated with Alachua County Emergency Management. We are the team that staffs shelters and keeps amateur radio service alive in the County EOC. ANYONE can join in with us -- you just need to be part of our TRAINING, COMMITMENT and SERVICE.

The EOC is not a radio room; we are only a TINY PART of the massive Alachua County response to any emergency. We are NOT in charge; we are VOLUNTEERS! The EOC is a huge organization of which we are just a part, invited to serve.

2024: https://www.nf4rc.club/club-history/2024-year-in-review/ Deployed into 3 hurricanes, garnering $60K for Alachua County; finished 6-band multiplexer; upper 10% of Winter Field Day; >1600 contacts in ARRL Field Day; refurbished Yagi HF antenna -- huge year for us.

See what we've done year after year since our 2016 reconstituion -- https://www.nf4rc.club/club-history/

Leadership in our group is SERVANTHOOD
