Amateur Radio is Fun!

 

 

 

Welcome!

 

  Thank you for visiting our Web Site!  We would be delighted if you would like to learn more about the oldest, continuously operating amateur radio club (established in 1956) in the Southern Maryland area.  The St. Mary's County Amateur Radio Association is a general interest group whose goal is to advance the state of the art and get others interested in the greatest hobby in the world.  Our interests span the entire spectrum of Amateur Radio activities.

  If you would like to learn more about the amateur radio hobby in general or perhaps find out what some of our specific activities are, come to the next meeting (see date/time and location on the 'Club Meetings' tab below).  At each meeting, we attempt to have a special guest speaker to provide an overview of a specific interesting facet of the hobby.  Please feel free to join us at one of our monthly meetings.  There is no charge to attend and you are not obligated to join the group.

  However, if you find that you would like to join our group, please fill out the membership application and mail it to our Treasurer:  Lee Jamison (N8HTG), 45695 Frigate Place, Great Mills, Maryland 20634.

Next Club Meeting... Thursday, 25 April 2013


Meeting starts promptly at 7:30 PM at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum.

 

 

Did you know...

   The 146.895 MHz Westmoreland (Virginia) repeater (pl 146.2 Hz) is now linked full time to the 147.195 MHz Hollywood (Maryland) repeater (pl 156.7 Hz)?

The plan is for a full time link between the .895 and .195 repeaters with the 145.35 MHz repeater (pl 156.7 Hz) in Prince Frederick also linking up for the Wednesday night Elmer's Net held at 7:30 PM.  This will allow a VERY large HT coverage area for the Elmer Net, so pass the word on to everyone to try out the link system and stop by the Elmer Net Wednesday night at 7:30 PM.
