Membership Information
Joining NCCC
If you wish to join NCCC, you must fill out an application for membership, which will be read and voted upon at the next monthly meeting. (PDF application form)
To join, you must reside within club territory which is defined as the maximum of:
NCCC club scores in contests:
- Northern California, anything north of the Tehachapi's up to the Oregon border, and
- A part of north-western Nevada (anything within our ARRL 175-mile radius circle centered at 10 miles North of Auburn on Highway 49).
- Members are eligible to contribute to the club score in contests.
- For ARRL contests (only), only members who are inside the 175-mile radius circle are eligible to contribute their scores to the NCCC club score.
To determine whether you are in this circle take the center latitude/longitude of N39.07° & W121.10°, plus your own and go to one of the following sites to calculate the distance your station is from the club center.

- Northern Arizona University Distance Calculator

Dues
Membership dues are voluntary. For Full Members wishing to financially support the club, $24 or more per year, payable in July, is recommended. $24 per year entitles members to receive plaques and other club awards as these are the primary club expenses.
Family members and full-time Students are eligible for dues at half the recommended rate, or $12 per year. (One member of the family pays the recommended full dues of at least $24, enabling the rest of the family to join as family members). Associate members are also recommended to pay dues at the $12 per year rate.
Dues can be paid online via Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express) -- or your PayPal account.
To pay dues online, simply use either of the drop-down menu options below (Full Member or Family/Student/Associate Member) from the new Quarterly Dues Schedule.
