Serving Southeast Ohio Communities

The next regular business meeting of the ACARA will be on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. In-person meetings are held at the Red Cross of Southeastern Ohio, 100 South May Avenue, Athens, Ohio, and begin at 7pm on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. A Zoom option will be available for those who cannot attend the meetings in-person. Instructions on how to connect via Zoom are available here. The meeting will begin with a show-and-tell of members’ Go Box stations; any interested member may bring a VHF, VHF/UHF, of HF Go Box to show.

A new Jump Start program for newly licensed hams has been developed by QRZ and Gigaparts where new hams can receive a starter handheld specially designed for this program. See our License Testing page from the link on the left for a link to more details and how to register.
