Who are we?
Cherokee Amateur Radio Society is an organization of FCC licensed amateur radio operators (also called Hams) that meet and share the hobby, educate people about amateur radio, as well as support our local community in times of disaster. We are located in Cherokee County, Georgia and have club call sign WX4CAR. We are an ARRL Affiliated Club.
The club also participates with ARES, and the Cherokee County EOC when severe weather gets close to the area, and we help with local public service projects. You too can join this team!
The members of the club also dedicate some of their time to promote and help new hams to develop their skills and knowledge on Amateur communications modes and to be better operators. We are a very active club and participate in ARRL Field Day every year. If you are located in Cherokee County or the surrounding area, we would like to invite you to participate.

Host Club for an ARISS Contact
The Cherokee club is the host for an ARISS contact the week of April 15th. This has been one year in the making. Because of the persistence and hard work by our member Dr. Cassie Z. (KQ4JVI), this event will be very special for the students of Mountain View Elementary, and an accomplishment for the club. As more information is available we will provide a link to the live-stream so that club members can watch it live on the day of the contact.
