ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS TEST (12 MAY 2012)
Field Day 2012 Entry Form
The Mound Amateur Radio Association (MARA) was formed in 1962. From 1962 through 1996, many MARA members were employees of Mound Laboratories (a D.O.E. facility operated by Monsanto and then later by E.G.&G.). The name "Mound" comes from the Indian Burial Mound that is across the street from the facility in Mound Park. The MARA clubhouse also resides in this park. Today the MARA members (~35) provide public service and severe weather warning assistance to the Miamisburg, Ohio community and surrounding areas.
MARA has two repeaters, 147.195 MHz. located on top the water tower at West Linden Avenue and Upper Miamisburg Road. And the 145.330 MHz. repeater located on top Sycamore Hospital, both are open repeaters.
We also have a 2 meter BBS and chat room on 145.010 MHz. W8DYY-1 is the BBS, W8DYY-5 is local chat, and W8DYY-6 is for international. So get out the old TNC and hook it up and see who is on.
Our weekly scheduled net is every Monday evening at 7pm on one of above listed repeaters. Net control duties are usually handled by Claude KC8TFY who is occasionally around the repeater about an hour before start time and can give a heads up to which repeater the net will be on. Give him a call and "Please join us!"
MARA is an ARRL Affiliated Club that has a normal monthly meeting on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7pm.
Meeting location is: 900 Mound Ave., Miamisburg, OH. 45342
