Established in 1965… The Chicago FM Club (CFMC) boasts a roster of over 200 members strong, from all over the Chicagoland area and beyond. With a vast array of coverage from our six area repeaters, we are much more than a “Repeater Club”. CFMC is proud to host one of Chicagoland’s biggest and best Ham Fests… Radio Expo; Held in September each year, check our Calendar for details. Some members have said: “CFMC is a social club where the members happen to be Hams.” CFMC Members enjoy a comradery both On-Air and IRL. Check-In to our popular Night Watch net, operating 7 days a week @ 10:00 PM local Chicago Time. Or, if you’re in the neighborhood… Stop by at one of the CFMC Friday Night Socials. We’d love to have you join us!
