The American Legion Amateur Radio Club (TALARC) was created by a resolution in 2011, and the club grew to become one of the largest in the nation. Both a hobby and a means of civil-defense communications during natural disasters, amateur (HAM) radio has long been an interest of veterans, many of whom served in communications roles in the military.

​Primarily due to a lack of licensed radio operators on staff at the national level, TALARC no longer operates as a national program. However, Legion amateur radio clubs and programs continue to operate successfully at the local level.

​In Legion members' efforts to foster continued interest and participation in amateur radio, a TALARC website has been established, along with the *TALARC* EchoLink Conference channel. With EchoLink acting as the primary communication hub, both individuals and posts have collaborated over the past year to form a cooperative. This initiative aims to facilitate future over-the-air networks and events.
