Join Sin City Repeater Group | Las Vegas Ham Radio Club Membership


The Most Active Ham Radio Club in Las Vegas

The Sin City Repeater Group, Inc. is not a typical ham radio club in Las Vegas.

We are a working amateur radio repeater network made up of operators, builders, and system owners who take radio seriously—and still have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

If you’re searching for an active amateur radio club in Las Vegas or a repeater network that is actually used daily, SCRG is where operators are on the air.

Membership exists to support the mission:

  • Building infrastructure
  • Advancing technical skill
  • Keeping the system active

You don’t join SCRG just to have your name on a roster.

You join because you want to be part of what’s happening on the air.


Membership Structure

SCRG is designed with a simple philosophy:

Most are welcome.
Not everyone participates at the same level.

Most members begin as non-voting members and grow into deeper involvement over time.


Membership Options and Costs

Standard Membership — $75/year

This is where most operators start.

Standard Membership is open to any licensed amateur radio operator who wants to join a radioactive Las Vegas ham radio club.

  • Participation in SCRG activities, nets, and events
  • Access to mentoring and technical development
  • Members-only Discord server

Non-Resident Associate Membership — No Cost

For amateur radio operators outside the Las Vegas / Clark County area.

  • No annual dues
  • Stay connected to the SCRG repeater network
  • Participate in nets, activities, and conversations

Voting Membership (Earned, Not Purchased)

SCRG operates differently from most amateur radio clubs.

Voting rights is not something you pay for with your membership. We’ve seen what happens with other clubs when that happens. Rather, voting rights are earned through:

  • Sponsoring and maintaining repeater infrastructure
  • Sustained operational or technical contribution
  • Appointment in recognition of significant service

Those who help build and sustain the system help shape its future.


How to Join a Ham Radio Club in Las Vegas

Joining SCRG is straightforward—but intentional.

Start here:

  • Get on the air and use the SCRG repeater system
  • Spend time listening and participating in conversations
  • Get to know the operators

From there:

  • Connect with current members
  • Express interest in joining
  • Secure sponsorship from existing members
  • Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Board of Directors

Membership is selective by design—not to exclude, but to maintain the system’s quality, reliability, and culture.


Important Membership Information

  • Dues support the nonprofit’s mission and operations
