Mission Statement
  The mission of The Loudoun Amateur Radio Group (LARG) is to provide the radio amateurs of western Loudoun County a forum to interact on the different facets of amateur radio and to provide service to the public as defined by the Federal Communications Commission. LARG supports the recruitment and training of Radio Amateurs through its educational activities.

LARG Activities We are active in nearly all facets of "Ham" Radio from contesting, to DXing, to providing communications services for local public events or emergencies. LARG also promotes the enjoyment of the hobby through club projects, contesting, and net activity. You will learn more about the 'Greatest Radio Club in the Whole Wide World', as Mary Oliphant - KF4UUY always say, by visiting each of the 16 sections on K4LRG.ORG. There you will find 100+ megabytes of LARG - K4LRG history; it's about our outstanding members and the things we do for others and for fun.

LARG - K4LRG on the WWW We greatly appreciate Web Hosting provided as a public service by MicroNeil Research Corporation.

LARG Announcements We try to keep up with our many activities by posting information on our Internet Site. Visit "Announcements" at WWW.K4LRG.ORG.
