Today we are also known as the "JBER Radio Club" or  "JBER MARS Station" as we
are a multi-service club.   We continue to maintain a fully operational station
for our Active Duty Members, their Dependents, Civilian Employees and Retirees. 
We are co-located with the Civil Air Patrol in building 16322 also known as R1
North.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The station also supports both the US Air Force and US Army Military Auxiliary
Radio Service (MARS) on a 24/7 basis as a Message Center for Region Ten as well
as an operating location for MARS Operators. Sponsored by DoD Directive (DoDD)
4650.2, Army Manual 6, Army Regulation 25–6 as well as AFI 17-210. Department of
Defense Instruction 4650.02, dated 20 December 2021 changed the status of MARS
from an affiliate to an auxiliary (equal in status to the Coast Guard Auxiliary
and Civil Air Patrol).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are capable of operating from 160m to 33cm.  HF antennas are a HyGain TH-11DX
(2020), a 43 ft DX Engineering Vertical (2012), a 900 foot HF loop mounted on
utility poles.  6 meters uses a 5 element yagi.  There is even a military TD90
type Folded Dipole up.  The rest of the VHF and up use a combination of VHF/UHF
Yagis and verticals.  HF Station consists of an Yaesu FT 857D, IC-7200, 2x Icom
IC-7610's with two Icom IC-PW1's (one kilowatt solid state amplifier).  
We have in the station multiple VHF radios with KPC TNC's for things like  2 VHF
Digipeaters. We host 3 WINLINK RMS's - 2m (1200), 1.25m (9600) and 70cm (9600).
For Field Day we have in our go kit-  Kenwood TS-570D and Icom V/UHF Dual Band
mobile.  An A3S Tri Band Yagi and a Double G5RV dipole.  Plus all the bits and
pieces that Hams always need in the field.
There is also privately owned radio gear in use by members adding additional
capabilities.

Look for KL7AIR and KL7USA on the air at any time.   The station is active in
most major Amateur events.
