Biography
JTRG is an ARRL affiliated, Special Service Club and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that's committed to the promotion of Amateur Radio and providing community assistance and goodwill.

With just over 100 members, we're an active club, involved with all aspects of amateur radio. In addition to our on-the-air events and Field Day, we provide communications and logistics for area events, participate in community affairs and the Adopt-a-Highway program. We have three to four annual training classes plus scheduled testing sessions under the ARRL VEC program.
JTRG maintains the following, open and coordinated VHF/UHF repeaters in the North Palm Beach County area.
We're also engaged in a number of radio events including a local island activation, lighthouse event, field day, and other special event operations where we operate under the club's callsign, W4JUP.
