Background
Founded under the San Jose State Teachers College, the San José State University Amateur Radio Club began in 1927 when the
United States Department of Commerce published an "Amateur Radio Stations of the United States" manual in which the call signal
of the school was listed as W6YL. The club would not become more active and recognized as a student organization until 1929.
