Our mission

Support disaster preparedness within the Lake Como community, foster fellowship and learning among members who share an interest in the technical arts, and support the broader amateur and general mobile radio service communities.

Our Repeater

We currently operate an open use GMRS repeater on
462.725 (Channel 22)
+5 MHz, Tone 103.5 Hz

Our Weekly GMRS Net

We gather weekly at 7:30 pm on Wenesdays using the Lake Como GMRS repeater for the Lake Como Radio Club GMRS Net. The purpose of the net is to encourage members of the community to keep their radios in good operating order, charged and ready for use (especially in the event of an emergency), to encourage participants to learn how to use their radios, and to develop good operating habits.

KO4MO

Our club has been granted the amateur radio callsign KO4MO, a tribute to the Lake Como community we serve.

Our Activities

We sponsor radio events like Field Day, work days for club projects, and community engagement events.

Our Community

Our club exists to support the members and residents of the Lake Como Co-op, a residential naturist community, campground, and resort located in Lutz, Florida. Lake Como is a vibrant place where you can enjoy a clothes-free life amongst friendly people in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Our Strategic Objectives

Equip, educate, and prepare the Lake Como community for times of disaster.

  • Intra-Community Support

    Ensure community members and staff can communicate throughout the grounds and in the surrounding areas of the community, even without operational infrastructure (power, internet, or cell phones).

  • Local Cooperation

    Build the capability to intercommunicate with local emergency officials during times of emergency, even without operational infrastructure (power, internet, or cell phones).

  • Family and Friends Support

    Build the capability to send and receive health and welfare messages between members of the Lake Como community and their friends anywhere in the world, even without operational infrastructure (power, internet, or cell phones).

  • Member Enrichment

    Provide technical learning opportunities and engaging activities for community and club members.

Our Naturist Values

Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature characterised by the practice of communal nudity with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for others, and for the environment.
