How to Get Started in Amateur Radio
It's easy to get started in Amateur Radio
Whether you want to experiment with leading edge technologies, help others keep in touch with family and friends, talk with the other side of the world, serve your community, or have a radio for emergency communications when the power goes out, it’s easy to get started in amateur radio. The best way to get started and learn is to listen to amateurs on the radio bands, read about Amateur Radio, or best of all, meet and speak with radio amateurs in your area.
xBeacon is a youth-led program dedicated to the study and exploration of amateur radio, radio science and space research. We are located in the ARRL Southwestern Division including Arizona and parts of California.
We are sponsored by and mentored through the hearts and minds of the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club and the World Genesis Foundation, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization operating with a mission to "Leave no child without hope for the future™."
We hope you enjoy our website and might considering purchasing some of our youth-designed products. All proceeds go to supporting our learning and development activities.
