The Charlotte Amateur Radio Club is a general-interest club which meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM. The normal meeting location is at The Salvation Army Division Headquarters at 501 Archdale Drive in Charlotte, near I-77 Exit 4 (Nations Ford Road). There is a permanent club station at this location with HF and VHF capability.

The club sponsors 5 repeaters, participates in several public service events each year (such as the Charlotte Observer Race Festival and the Latta Park Triathlon), and participates in Field Day each June. We have an annual picnic in October and a Christmas party each December.

The club call, W4CQ, originally belonged to Earle Gluck. Earle was involved in radio almost from the beginning, and was instrumental in getting broadcasting station WBT in Charlotte on the air. Wilford L Eury - N4MD is the station license trustee.
