The Sandusky Radio Experimental League (SREL) was founded in 1932 and became incorporated in 1952. In 2019, we obtained 501(c)(3) status as a non-profit organization. Our main purpose is to promote the hobby of amateur radio. In the early years of amateur radio, there was no commercial manufactures of radio equipment. Most radio equipment was either converted from military surplus or homebrew, hence the word "experimental" in our name. Our organization was one of the first of its kind in the northern Ohio area. Due to the efforts of our founding members and a lot of hard work, we are one of the few amateur radio clubs that can enjoy the convenience of a meeting place we can call our own.
Our Location
The Sandusky Radio Experimental League is located at 2909 W. Perkins Ave in Sandusky, Ohio. Easy access to the club house from RT 101 or RT 4 is ideal for out of town guests to visit. The club house, which is Club owned, was built in 1950 and later added onto, in 1954. The building was later remodeled in 1974. All the club's equipment is located in this building, with the exception of the 440 MHZ repeater. Access to club members is available 24 hours a day. There are three main parts to the building. The meeting room is the largest and contains a small kitchen. The second largest is a workshop area that includes a electronic bench with test equipment and a bench for mechanical construction. The third and last area is the operations room. This room is home to the HF gear, packet and computer equipment.
