DESCRIPTION
The Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications is a library of materials and collections related to amateur radio and early communications. The DLARC is funded by a significant grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications, a private foundation, to create a digital library that documents, preserves, and provides open access to the history of this community.
This free resource combines archived digitized print materials, born-digital content, websites, oral histories, personal collections, and other related records and publications. The goals of the DLARC are both to document the history of amateur radio and to provide freely available educational resources for researchers, students, and the general public.

Ham radio operator jumps in to help woman in Florida during Hurricane Ian
From hundreds of miles away, a ham radio operator helped first responders find people stranded on a Florida island after Hurricane Ian hit.
The age-old communication made a difference for a woman who has family in the Susquehanna Valley.
With a language all their own, ham radio operators converse with people all over the world.
Dale Klonin, with the call sign KC3TAU, got into the hobby about a year ago.
“I found the fun aspect of it being talking to people in other countries, even people in the United States at some activities that ham radio operators do,” he said.
During the height of Hurricane Ian, his hobby became lifesaving work.
“Ham radio operators in particular are here to help out when all other means of communication just don’t work,” Klonin said.
