The Adventist Amateur Radio Association International (AARAI) is a worldwide fraternity of ham radio operators who belong to, or are friends of, the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The AARAI runs several nets throughout the week at various times for fellowship and information. Officers are elected every five years. Our club sign is K3LJP, in honor of our beloved founder the late Ed Peterson, who often referred to himself as K 3 Love, Joy, and Peace. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining—we'd be glad to have you!
