Our Members are our Community

JARC is dedicated to promoting the Amateur Radio hobby and being there in times of need for our community. We rely on our members to help us carry out our mission. Becoming a member helps support the club more than just paying dues. We hold and sponsor many events each year (Contesting, Ham Radio License Study classes, Field Day and VEC Testing, to name a few), and we need members to help us do this.

The dues we collect help keep our club resources, such as the club radio stations and repeaters, operating so that they are available for all to use. Since no club would be fun if it were all work parties and charitable work, we’re also a social club.  We’re always looking for new members, whether you’re an experienced radio operator or just interested in the hobby and are looking to get your ham radio license. So come on down to one of the Thursday night meetings or Open House days and see what we’re all about!
