Valley Swamp Amateur Radio Club operates WU1ITU, usually looking for contacts on difficult paths and studying how radio hardware and software behave when signals are at the edge of detection.
About the club
WU1ITU.CLUB is the home of the Valley Swamp Amateur Radio Club and its station callsign, WU1ITU. Most of our operating happens in two particular scenarios: 1.8 MHz during winter nights and 50 MHz during all intercontinental opportunities (usually the summer).
The club is organized around remote operation and collaboration, rather than a physical gathering to recite committee reports. Members and partners coordinate operating times, compare logs and reception reports, and write up what they learn. If you would like to mention an attempted contact, receive a QSL, or to talk about a research idea, email wu1itu@wu1itu.club.
