Ham radio in Taylorsville

Ham radio efforts in the City of Taylorsville began in earnest in the summer of 2006 when a small group of operators began communicating on a regular basis.   The city named us "The HAMnet" and we have continued to use that moniker in our weekly nets.  The group is now 60 + in members and while it is officially called The Taylorsville Amateur Radio Club, many continue to call us the "HAMnet".

We have held a weekly net ever since 2008, only a handful of missed nets, mostly due to holidays or conflicts in scheduling. 

We are proud of our record as an organized group in providing communication support to community events and other communication needs.

Where is Taylorsville Ut?   

Taylorsville Utah started as a small pioneer farming community and is located in the center of the Salt Lake Valley.
​In 1848, Joseph and Susanna Harker, early pioneers from England crossed over the Jordan River and settled the Taylorsville area. The location was known as "Over Jordan" for a period of time and "Harkers Settlement" later on.   The settlement was later renamed Taylorsville after the Taylor family who were early settlers in this area. John Taylor, third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was a member of the Taylor family.

Although the area has grown to a population of over 61,000 residents, it still retains much of the "Small community attributes".   Taylorsville is a community of volunteers and ham radio is a strong part of those efforts.  
The "Taylorsville Amateur Radio Club or TARC"  continues to be an integral part of communication resources to the community and its residents.
