The club was organized in May of 2002 as the Speculator Amateur Radio Club (SpARC) 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. The name was changed to Hamilton County Amateur Radio Club in November 2012.
If you are interested communications for emergency preparedness, please contact Hamilton County ARES Emergency Coordinater Chris Seaman KD2BAD.
If you live or spend any time in the area, we encourage you to join our club. Dues are $20/year, due in July.
