The University of Kentucky Amateur Radio Club was founded in 1923 and organized in the 1940s. The station's call sign began as W9JL but then became W4JP which was used from then on. The club was recognized in July 1964 as an affiliate of the American Radio Relay League. The club was awarded the public service certificate of the American Radio Relay League for its services in relaying messages from a tornado stricken area in the Midwest in 1965. It was also highly acclaimed for its assistance with communications during the 1966 Guatemala earthquakes.
