Administrative history
The Hat Ham Club was founded in 1946 by four original members: Sid Gaffney, Joe Bell, M.E. MacKinnon and P.A. Fair. The club includes members interested in electronics and Morse Code, as well as radio operations. In 1993, the club had approximately 70 members in the Medicine Hat area, and operated a "net" meeting on the airwaves every Monday. The club was involved with the communications for: the 1992 Alberta Seniors Summer Games; the Jamboree on the Radio for the Boy Scouts; the Terry Fox Run; and the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede. The club was also fully involved in the 1984 train wreck on Riverside, and participated in assisting communications involving prompting evacuations for citizens.
The senior chapter of the club is the Hat Horizons Amateur Radio Operators Club, and accepts members fifty years of age and older. The H.H.A.R.O.C was created in 1979 after being granted a government subsidy of $8,700 for purchase of equipment. The H.H.A.R.O.C. was operated out of the basement of the Wild Rose Roge, while was exclusively for seniors of fixed income.
