A very large club with many activities including educational instruction, community service, and social events. This club holds regular elections and has a club constitution which is closely observed.
The club's primary repeater K0USA VHF has an impressive coverage footprint, reaching as far east as Red Oak Iowa. This club's 146.94 repeater holds the title as having the best coverage area out of Omaha. The K0USA repeater has a slightly larger footprint than does K0SWI. The repeater lacks a PL tone for access.
