Boston Amateur Radio Club
The Boston Amateur Radio Club is a general-purpose ham radio club with 140 members primarily in the Eastern Massachusetts area (though we have members as far away as Hungary). We are an ARRL-affiliated Special Service Club.
Our primary focus is public service; we are active in SATERN and provide communications for many public service events in the area, including coordinating route communications (and over 200 hams) for the BAA Boston Marathon each year, as well as the Jimmy Fund Cancer Walk, MS walk, Muscular Distrophy, and many others. We also provide communications for disasters and drills in the area.
BARC runs the 145.23- 88.5 PL repeater - this machine is on top of the Federal Reserve building and provides coverage within Eastern MA, northern RI, and southern NH. If you are in the area, please stop in and say hello. We have an NTS net each night at 8PM and a club net, open to all, Mondays at 9PM.
We also run workshops, tours, VE sessions (2nd Monday each month), classes, a monthly breakfast (2nd Sunday each month) and other fun events.
We will be participating in Field Day this year at Larz Andersen park in Brookline MA (behind the Transportation Museum) and would love to have visitors drop by.
