The Radio Club of Tacoma was founded in 1916 and is one of the oldest amateur radio clubs in the United States.  We've been affiliated with the ARRL since 1920.

During World War II, when the FCC shut down the Amateur Radio Service the Club remained active, even though the operators could not transmit. Today, the Club typically has about 350 members. RCT is unusual both in longevity and in its ownership of real estate that was purchased in 1958. The property consists of a two story house - the "Clubhouse" - and an adjacent lot used for parking and various outdoor radio activities.
