Membership in the Peoria Area Amateur Radio Club is open to all amateurs and interested parties. We offer four classes of membership to fit the needs of all amateurs and their families:

Voting Membership: Open to all persons who hold an amateur radio license. Annual dues for the full membership are $25 per calendar year. For those under 18 years of age or over 65 years of age, the cost $20. The term of membership is the same.

Family Voting Membership: Especially desirable for those multi-ham families. The first member is charged the full price of $25, with each additional family member charged $15. The privileges for each member under the family plan is the same as if they were individual full members.

Non-Voting Membership: For those amateurs who do not reside in the Central Illinois area, desire limited participation in club activities, or are interested parties who do not hold amateur radio licenses. Each non-voting member is charged $10 per year in dues. Some privileges are limited under the non-voting member plan.

Honorary Life Memberships: are free and awarded to individuals who have performed meritorious service to the club, as recommended to the general membership by the Board of Directors.
