The Adventures Of Radio Station K4LRG

The Loudoun Amateur Radio Group of Loudoun County in Northern Virginia, founded in 1994, is a family oriented club with a wide variety of activities and interests including public service, emergency communications support, high altitude balloon radio, camera and video flights, fox hunts, contesting and DX-ing. Our premier events are the annual K4LRG operation in the June ARRL Field Day,  the Reston Bicycle Club Ride Communications Operation in August and First Night Leesburg in December. We are an affiliated club of the American Radio Relay League and many of our members support the Amateur Radio Emergency Service of Loudoun County. We encourage advancement in the art of amateur radio communications and offer several training courses each year.

The Loudoun Amateur Radio Group meets monthly on the third Saturday - January through November. Follow the monthly meeting tab on the right for information about our meeting. We operate six weekly radio nets where our members get together to say hello and check their equipment. Many of our members regularly participate in domestic and international radio contests and are among the best and have won many club and individual awards including Commonwealth titles in the Virginia QSO Party .
