The Foothills Amateur Radio Club was founded in 1995. The club has an active membership of hams that have a wide interest in the hobby. The purpose of the club is to promote amateur radio and to assist in emergency communications whenever the need arises. We are now an ARRL affiliated club. We are located in Pickens County of South Carolina. Our members are active in DX, contesting, building projects and repeater building. The club has 2 repeaters: 2 meters(146.700- MHz, PL 107.2) and 440MHz (442.125+). We have a fine repeater system.
