QRP Newbie here!

[Eestack]

Hello, first post here. Just joined. Let me start by saying I know absolutely nothing about amateur radio. So, that's the reason I joined.
I'm trying to find a club, or find out if there is a club in my area that I could join and start my journey.
Very interested in getting my license and getting into Ham radio.
I'm in the Upstate of SC so anything within an hour or so would be doable. Thank you for any help/information you can share.

Here's a link to the "Find a club" search tool on the ARRL's website. You can search by entering your ZIP Code and a distance so the tool can do a radius search. This will get you a list of nearby clubs which are affiliated with the ARRL.

Another possibility is to use Google or another web search tool. Search for "amateur radio [your town name]" or "amateur radio [your county name]" or "amateur radio [major town near you]" to see if the search tool knows of websites for clubs near you.

Here are a few I found near Greenville SC:
