Heath and Wellfare
It is with great sadness that we must inform you of the passing of club member Phil Johnson, WA9EMO. He passed at January 20th. He was a long time club member participating in many field days as a CW operator.
A lifelong Ham Radio operator, Phil, WA9EMO, enjoyed his passion for the hobby since 1962 and generously volunteered his radio talents in support of the American Diabetes Association’s Chicagoland Tour de Cure for many years.

At First Glance
Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs, Inc. was founded in 1948. We are a group of amateur radio operators who promote the advancement of the hobby and science of amateur radio through:
- member participation in training and testing of new amateur operators;
- providing local communications infrastructure via repeaters;
- supporting local emergency services with secondary communications;
- and offering communications support for many local charitable and social groups.
WCRA is involved in all facets of Amateur Radio, supporting the healthy growth of the hobby through diversification and participation. If this sounds like a group you’d be interested in joining, then come to one of our events or meetings and see what kind of folks we really are.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs is to further the art of radio communications and electronics by mentoring anyone with like interests, participating in community events, preparedness in assisting in the event of a disaster where other communication modes can fail, while promoting social camaraderie among its members.
