Located in Shelbyville, Kentucky, the Stubblefield Repeater Club was and named after Nathan B. Stubblefield. In 1908 Nathan Stubblefield received a U.S. patent for his invention of a wireless telephone (we call it a radio) that used magnetic induction. Nathan B. Stubblefield was a native of Murray, KY. Kentucky is where Stubblefield began giving demonstrations of his invention of broadcasting via radio frequency before advertising and promoting his invention all the way to Washington, DC.
Since the inception of the Stubblefield Repeater Club in 1983, we have developed into a very active social club. We value the input and ideas of our members.
