Hiawatha Amateur Radio
Association:
|
 The Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association was formed to facilitate
the exchange of information and general cooperation among members, promote radio knowledge,
fraternalism and individual operating efficiency, further the exchange of information and cooperation
between law enforcement and emergency preparedness personnel, lessening the burdens of
government in providing much needed communications in times of emergency and or disaster, as
well as to be of service to the community at large, and to conduct club programs and activities so as
to advance the general interest and welfare of amateur radio.

History:
|
 Back in 1932, a group of 15 amateurs decided to
form an Amateur Radio Club. It was the first of its kind in Marquette County, known as the
Marquette Radio Assn. In 1933, they became chartered with the American Radio Relay League
(ARRL) and were renamed the Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association of
Marquette County. The club has the original charter as well as a certificate acknowledging 50
years of ARRL affiliation.
In 1935, the club sponsored the Michigan State Convention of amateur radio operators. The club
also sponsored the 1st U.P. Hamfest.
