FARS is an amateur radio organization for the southern San Francisco Peninsula area in California serving residents of Los Altos, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and other nearby communities. Our regular monthly meetings are held on the fourth Friday of the month at Covington School in Los Altos.

The FARS Annual Banquet is on Friday, April 28, 2023. Our speaker is Professor Tom Lee of Stanford who talks about “Early Spark Gap Transmitters.” Sign up on-line or via mail. We plan on $800 in raffle prizes.

It's time to renew your FARS membership for 2023. Dues are increasing to $25 on April 2, so renew now to avoid the price increase. Use the paper renewal form to mail with your check, or use this on-line form (login required) to update your profile and pay on-line with PayPal.

The March 24 FARS Membership meeting is scheduled as an in-person and Zoom meeting.

Our meetings are open to all.

Members and registered users may login to the web site to update their profile, sign up for (or renew) membership, or create/modify a public biography. Members may also search the membership roster to contact other members. Not a member, then register online, or sign-up at one of our meetings.

Membership in the Foothills Amateur Radio Society is open to any person interested in amateur radio who agrees to abide by the Bylaws and pay the annual dues. We sponsor educational meetings and radio activities. FARS is the sponsor for one of the Electronics Flea Markets during each year. Join our email list. Many FARS members are active in amateur emergency communications and civic support activities.

We have a number of useful articles covering Smith Charts, Antenna Impedance Models, Digital Keyboard Modes, etc.

Here are copies of the FARS Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation.
