The QSY Society Amateur Radio Cub
If you're not quite sure how you arrived at this site and are scratching your head wondering what the heck "amateur radio" is, click here to find out. If you're already aware of this wonderful, exciting, fulfilling hobby, read on...
The QSY Society is a group of amateur radio
enthusiasts dedicated to havingFUN with the hobby, while still
fulfilling the stated goals of the amateur
radio service.
The majority of our membership comes from the Mid-Hudson region of New
York State (Dutchess, Putnam, Orange & Ulster counties), but is
open to all. We enjoy the camaraderie of our group
activities,
and appreciate a good sense of humor!.Many ham clubs tend to get
bogged-down by their
internal structure, suffering from the effects of their own
bureaucracies, politics and related strife which quite frankly tends to
drive some members away. From the ground-up the QSY Society
was
designed to avoid that. There is no Executive Board or group
of
directors. Rather, there is simply a "Club Coordinator",
whose
primary duties are to run the monthly meetings and coordinate the
various group activities. That role is assisted by
(naturally)
the "Assistant Club Coordinator," who's duties are just that -
assisting the CC. There are no standing committees; when
needed
they are comprised of volunteers on an "ad hoc" basis.
If you're still reading this and feel that this type of unstructured, loosely-knit type of group appeals to you, why not pay us a visit? Check out our meeting schedule and come to our next meeting. You're guaranteed to be welcome and pleasantly surprised!
