HAM Radio at USASK

Historically, the University of Saskatchewan had a Armature Radio Club called VE5US. This club was formed in 1956 with a station located at the top of the College of Engineering building. Members were given lessons to secure a license, allowing students to communicate with other universities across the country and allowing free contact between students and their families. During the clubs operations the club expanded its bandwidth to communicate around the globe. Unfortunately, with the development and surge of the internet the club came to an end.
