Reach Out & communicate
Getting your amateur radio license is just the start. There are many things you can do with radio such as using local repeaters, getting into digital radio, as well as making HF contacts around the world.
LCARA provides testing opportunities for you to get started. If you are not yet licensed and wish to learn more, reach out to us from the Contacts Page, or see Getting Licensed.
Getting Involved in the Community
We go to some events to help spread the hobby of Amateur Radio, giving the community a chance to see equipment in use. We also have provided communication during the McCreary Gravel Rally, where cell phone coverage is unreliable in some locations along the course.
Repeater maintenance is an ongoing task. LCARA visits each repeater site monthly to perform repairs, grounds & equipment maintenance, and upgrades as needed.
