A small collection of mixed materials from San José State University's Amateur Radio Club from 1939 to 2022. This collection includes materials related to the club's activities such as an amateur radio station log book, an attendance sheet, and QSL cards. Also included are a 1960s radio manual, a club branded item, and World War II era headphones. A guide containing the chronological order of Amateur Radio Club mentions in the San José State University newspaper archives and yearbook publications, and a timeline of club officers have also been incorporated into the collection.

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.
