Members - You Need a Membership ID Badge!

The James Capitan Building has Electronic Locks and requires a card issued through Homeland Security. This card can then gain you access (meeting room and club station).

If you need a card - Please send a standard passport photo, in JPG format to SARA / W8QQQ <Email>

A background check will need to be performed by the local police (Sheriff's office) before a card cdan be issued which will require some additional information and a small amount of time.

More information about the Passport Standard Photo format can be found here.
