Description:

The Batesville Area Radio Club was established back in the early 50's. The club is known as one of the oldest continuously operating clubs in the state. The main repeater site is on top of Brock Mountain at the Independence and Cleburne County line. 

We provide and service 6 repeaters: 147.270 (DCS-023), 444.750 (94.8), 147.105 (94.8), 147.180 (94.8) and 224.400 repeaters. We have another repeater that is under construction. Its frequency is 147.015 and is locked in Fusion Digital mode. 

Our WEEKLY NET is every Monday's on the 147.270 repeater. The early check-in is at 7:00 PM, Questions and Answers is at 7:40 PM, and the Regular Net begins at 8:00 PM. 

We have Christian values and enjoy getting together with good people. We have weekly breakfast and lunches. 

We have a strong passion for this hobby. We freely donate our time and money towards building a better club and community. Our membership consist of Police Officers, Firemen, business owners, dentist, doctors, nurses, ambulance personel, first responders, teachers, and more. 

We have members that are retired but several are still hold down jobs and raising families.
