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 ARRL and were renamed the
**** Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association of Marquette County **** Hiawatha Amateur Radio Association of Marquette County****
****County Marquette of Association Radio Amateur Hiawatha****County Marquette of Association Radio Amateur Hiawatha****
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.

This website is a club project. To get more members involved there is a handfull of individuals that contribute to editing and uploading various pages. While most of us haven't had previous experience in making up a web page we are more than willing to learn and hopefully have some fun in this ongoing process. Individuals plan to edit pages on amateur radio subjects that they're more in tune with, enjoying this facet of the hobby over another. Our plan is to make each page as enjoyable as possible to our club members and surfers as well. If this small endeavor of ours can perpetuate this great hobby of amateur radio in a positive light, the effort will be well worth it.
Attention surfers, this home page has just recently activated so some of the links aren't active yet, please be patient, we'll get there eventually. Domo Arigato!
