C3 Electronics LLC was formed in May 2024 by Carol Young, W9PIO, to create bandpass filters for amateur radio activators. 

 

As a woman-owned small business, I realized at Field Day activations and POTA activations that unwanted signals can occur and disrupt other operators when working in close proximity.  

​

My first year as Field Day Coordinator with 14 other amateur radio operators present started out working well until a couple of operators came and caused RF interruptions.   I realized in an ARES trailer during nighttime activations that we would have to take turns transmitting or we would cause interference with each other.

​

As I was involved heavily in our local ARES group as the Public Information Officer, Field Day Coordinator, Build Project Coordinators, and other activities, I realized how enjoyable it was to build bandpass filters and other amateur radio equipment.  

​

Currently, I am a Public Information Officer and Hamfest Coordinator for the Fox Cities Amateur Radio Club (FCARC) and the Secretary of the Wolf River Amateur Radio Club.

 

Once the business began, I started out at my first Hamfest selling more than I ever expected.   The Green Bay Mike and Key Club Hamfest was a huge success.  So, yes...I became hooked on Swapfests and Hamfests displaying and selling my products.  While at the Hamfests during Summer of 2024, I was asked for many different items to build and sell.  Some of the items requested by hams include: digital bandpass filters and baluns.   These items are currently in our research and development stage and we hope to have them available in 2025.

Our Aluminum Mast Stand Holders products was designed and made by a friend and provided to C3 Electronics to sell as another product line.  The Aluminum Mast Stand Holders are also a hot item in our product line at swapfests!
