About Us:
The Dial Radio Club serves the greater Middletown, Ohio area.
We are a general interest club with an emphasis on training and
licensing. We meet on the third Monday of every month at
7:00 pm at the Golden Corral just off SR 122 on I-75. Please join us.
- Membership is family based. In the recent past we have had 80+ members representing 50+ families. Dues are $26 per year for a family.
- We support an extensive repeater system that has quite good
coverage.
- We have two analog repeaters. One is exclusively on 2 meters while the other is linked between 2 meters and 70 cm.
- We have a Motorola DMR digital repeater with an internet link on 70 cm.
- We have a Yaesu Fusion repeater in digital/analog operation on 70 cm.
We have taught classes for more than 30 years to allow persons to become amateurs or to upgrade their privilieges.
- Our two major social events are the Dayton Hamvention, (in May) and the ARRL Field Day (the last weekend in June).
