News for ALL MEMBERS, our February meeting will be held in Dinning Room 1 at Sycamore Hospital at 6:00pm. We will be receiving our volunteer training so we can man the radio station per our MOU agreement, see you there.
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.
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
