About Us

The Hoosier Hills Ham Club Inc. is an amateur radio club serving the greater Lawrence County Indiana area since June of 1955. Our club callsign is W9QYQ with an additional vanity club callsign W9GUS. If you will be traveling through the scenic Hoosier Hills of Lawrence County please make time to visit on air and see the sights.

We offer ham radio operating events, contesting opportunities, informational/educational meetings and lots of great fun!

We sponsor the annual Hoosier Hills Hamfest each fall, one of the biggest hamfests in Indiana. See www.hoosierhillshamfest.com for more information on the hamfest.
