About Us

The Mercer County Amateur Radio Club was formed in 2011 by a group of local ham radio operators and electronics enthusiasts in order to promote Amateur Radio and better facilitate emergency communications in Mercer County. The Club sponsors two 2-Meter repeaters and maintains stations at the Mercer County Emergency Operations Center and the Ephraim McDowell James B. Haggin Hospital.
