W2UC - W2UC - W2UC - W2UC - W2UC - W2UC

W2UC is the amateur radio station on the Union College Campus in Schenectady, NY. The station is dedicated to the memory of Ted Goble, K2HNW, who served as our advisor for many years. We are located in the Science and Engineering Building on the first floor, north wing. The room number is N106A. Just look for the GAP Titan-DX antenna on the roof at 42 49.09N 73 55.64W.

The history of the club goes back to 1925 when it operated with the call sign 2XQ and used the QSL card shown here:

We hold our annual open house on ReUnion Weekend, but visitors are welcome anytime. This year the open house event is on Saturday, May 31,2008. The station will be operating from noon to 1:00PM. Email George, W2CSN, at williamg@union.edu for more information.

The station is maintained by the Union College Amateur Radio Society and is licensed by its trustee, Robert Leiden, K1UI.

Once again W2UC will be helping out at the Field_Day event of SARA. For Information on this event, the following time line from a previous Field Day exercise is linked. Click here.
