PURPOSE OF THE CLUB "To operate exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes and more specifically to study and contribute to the development of radio communication programs and provide a scholarship fund for needy and worthy students for the study of radio communications." From the Constitution of The Radio Club of America.
Formed by a small group of dedicated radio amateurs and experimenters nearly a century ago, The Radio Club of America would soon count among its membership the very best in the Radio Communications Industry. Edwin Armstrong, David Sarnoff, Louis Hazeltine, John V. L. Hogan, Paul Godley and Allen B. DuMont, to name just a few - these were pioneers who would shape the industry. Today the Club is composed of modern pioneers, advancing the field of Radio Communications in ways undreamt of on that January day in 1909, when the first meeting of The Radio Club of America was called to order.
