The Speculator Amateur Radio Club was organized in May of 2002 to to support the local repeater, provide emergency and public service communications, generate interest in amateur radio, and afford amateur radio operators and those interested in radio as a hobby an opportunity to meet socially.
SpARC is working with county agencies to build volunteer emergency communications capabilities throughout all of Hamilton County. We need your participation.
If you live or spend any time in the area, we encourage you to join our club. Repeater dues are $8/year and club dues are $2/year. Dues are due in July.
Meetings are held at the Lake Pleasant Fire Hall 7:00 PM on the third Monday of each month. All hams and non-hams welcome. Please contact us for details.
We hold a net every Monday night at 7:00 PM (except meeting nights) on the Speculator repeater (147.165+).
Club decals are available for $2.00. Club T-shirts
are available for $9.00. T-shirts are high-visibility
orange and excellent for wearing while on emergency
or public service communications duty.
Seaplane Fly-In Insulated Travel Mugs are still available
to the public for $10. Please purchase a mug to help
support volunteer emergency communications provided
by SpARC.
