Welcome to the Harris/Intersil Amateur Radio Club (HIARC) information center on the Web!

HIARC is currently planning for ARRL Field Day for 2012 on the grounds of the Grant Community Center, where the famous Grant Seafood Festival is held. 

We hope you enjoyed HIARC Field Day 2011. We had lots of visitors, and great food, and an awesome presentation by our special guest visitor.  Photos have been published on the FieldDay2011 Web Site.  We invite you to visit the HIARC Field Day 2012 Web Site for almost up-to-date information about the 2012 event.

Hurricane/Emergency Preparedness
One of the more important missions of radio amateurs is to provide communications during natural disasters and other emergencies.  HIARC participates in Brevard County emergency preparedness, and provides operators to man shelters, hospitals, and shadow public service officers when needed.  These roles and responsibilities are outlined in the county's communication plans.  Please check out the following documents to ensure you will be ready to serve when the time comes!  Emergency Communications in Brevard County
