Chester Bird Amateur Radio Club Call Sign K0CBP
the American Legion amateur radio club
The American Legion Amateur Radio Club (TALARC) is comprised of members of The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of The American Legion who possess federally issued licenses as amateur radio operators. The purpose of the club is to promote the Legion through the art and science of amateur radio; encourage participation in local disaster preparedness and emergency communications operations with state and local emergency management agencies; and encourage youth to explore science and technology through ham radio. The American Legion Amateur Radio Club dates back to the 1920s.
With the station call sign K0CBP, Chester Bird TALARC operates a "special event" station in June honoring the memory of Private Chester D. Ptaszek, receiving shortwave calls from radio amateurs around the world. The American Legion Family can apply for free membership in the radio club. Please visit our QRZ for information on weekly on the air nets and events.
