Calling
All Amateurs ! Membership in the Massillon Amateur Radio Club can
be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are a diverse radio
hobbyist club that is active in many facets of Amateur
Radio. Membership in the MARC means involvement in numerous
club activities and enjoying many club benefits including ..... 
Operating Events. We
participate in numerous local and national events to keep our
operating skills razor sharp. Among these is Field Day. This event
is where we and other clubs from around the U.S. take their equipment to
the great outdoors. The idea is to practice setting up and
operating under less than ideal conditions and try to contact as
many other participants as possible in a 24 hour period. We also
sponsor a Hamfest in the fall, a huge fleamarket of radio and
computer equipment.
Monthly club meetings. We
meet on the first Friday of the month at the Massillon Senior
Citizens Center which is located in downtown Massillon starting at
8:00 PM. We conduct a business meeting followed by a break for
coffee, pop and donuts. Then the fun really begins as we host
monthly programs which can be interesting video's to guest
speakers to technical demonstrations. Our program chairman always
has something new and interesting for us every
month. 
Repeaters. As
part of our emergency preparedness we sponsor and maintain several
amateur repeaters. We currently maintain two repeaters, one is on
147.18 Mhz and is located approximately 170 feet on top of an old
railroad relay tower. This wide area coverage repeater has also
been chosen to provide backup communications to Stark County in
the event the primary ARES Repeater should fail. Our other
repeater is on 442.85 Mhz and is located at Massillon Community
Hospital and is used during Skywarn activation. Both are used
for our enjoyment and when necessary for emergency
communications. 
Newsletters. The
MARC publishes an award winning monthly newsletter - FEEDBACK -
which serves to keep our membership informed of current club news,
local & national operating events, national amateur radio
news, member activities plus lots of other great information. Keep
up-to-date with this great member benefit !
