Brunswick Area Radio Club History:
The Brunswick Area Radio Club was established in October 1992 The club has a UHF repeater on
443.425+ Mhz. (131.8 Hz. P.L.) it is an OPEN REPEATER that all licensed radio amateurs are
welcome to use. To become a member dues are (FREE)
Over the years membership dwindled and the club became inactive, but was never
officially disbanded. Many club events were still enjoyed by the same core group of
members, but with a smaller group the “club politics” became a burden on the club,
a lot of energy was being expended on things like, club elections, club dues,
membership cards & schedules. Somehow the main reason for the club got
lost in the shuffle, after all its all about Amateur Radio!
If BARC sounds like your kind of club, We would like
to welcome you as a member!
