The Radio Amateur Club of Knoxville (RACK) was founded in 1954 as a way of promoting the interest of amateur radio operators in the Knoxville Tennessee area. Our primary means of funding is through the proceeds from our annual hamfest (Knoxville Hamfest and Electronics Exhibition) usually held the second weekend in June. We use our hamfest income for training of new hams, support of repeater systems, public service activities, scouting support, and scholarships for hams. Our members dues are used to cover our meeting expenses, member communications, picnics, fox hunts, and field day.
We are registered with the IRS as a 501C3 tax exempt organization. Therefore, donations of equipment or money are tax deductible when we provide letters of acknowledgement for such donations.
