Links to Other New Orleans Area Radio Clubs
The Greater New Orleans Amateur Radio Club, Inc. is a general interest club, with a focus on "continuing education" for radio amateurs. With so many different facets to ham radio, it's sometimes hard to know where to turn when you need help. From satellites to APRS to DXing to ATV, the club wants to be an "Elmer" resource for New Orleans area hams!
And, love it or hate it, license restructuring has had a big effect on amateur radio. With all the fresh interest in hamming, GNOARC wants to help usher in a new "golden era for the hobby!
Meanwhile, the club repeaters are on the air and open for general amateur use:
W5UK/R 444.200 (114.8 Hz PL) - Linked to Baton Rouge.
W5UK-9 (APRS WIDE Digipeater) 144.39 MHz
WB5LLI/R (maintained by GNOARC members) 53.130 MHz (input 52.130). Note: This repeater will soon QSY to (planned) 53.730 and will be linked to 444.200.
This website is, and will be, in a constant state of construction. Thanks for visiting, and please come back soon! 73, de W5UK.
