Radio • Community • Friendship

Amateur radio is about more than making contacts. MARC provides opportunities to learn, operate, experiment, volunteer and spend time with other people interested in radio.

Website Update: MARC recently moved its website to a new home. We're currently rebuilding and restoring material from the previous W9AB website. Additional club information, photographs, events and member resources will be added.
