N2YCR Club[edit]

N2YCR is the call sign of the club affiliated with NYC Resistor. You do not need to be a member of Resistor to be a member of NY2CR, nor do you need to be a licensed amateur radio operator (though of course we hope you'll become licensed with our help). We intend to post more information about the club and club events soon. For now, follow the activity on the #n2ycr channel on Discord to learn more. If you want to become a member, start the process by saying hi there. It does not cost any money to become a member of the radio club. The club is open to any and all who can make it to a physical meeting once in a while in the Resistor space. The default entrance to Resistor requires going up approximately five stair steps. If this presents any challenge at all, reach out on Discord and we'll happily accommodate you with a ramp.
