Club Information

Later the charter members agreed and applied for a frequency pairs. They purchased a Motorola micro repeater and installed it in Jones Hall on Southern University Campus. The club now has a charter, constitution and is incorporated thus the new name Capital Area OMIK Association, Inc. The club has participated in several Hi-Fiver events, work with Red Cross, the I Care program, OMIK school Days, Several Ham Radio Demonstrations with Elementary, High School and University students.
